We have used Lightning Bug Electric for four different projects over the last several years. The entire operation is fantastic. From the office staff of Ashley, Heather and Kelsey to all of the technicians like James, Steven, Tyler, Marcus and Hunter, we have received the most professional, friendly and competent…
Quick friendly amazing service. Explained every thing they were doing clearly and showed us repairs when finished. Affordable pricing and great people all around.
Lightning Bug, in general, and my specialist in particular, Christian, were easy to work with, very knowledgeable and extremely professional. Would recommend and use again.
Aaron came and installed my EV charger and a chandelier. The quote was honest and fair and Aaron was great! He was on time and explained everything thoroughly before the work began. Highly recommend!!
Great experience from start to finish. They contacted me promptly and made scheduling very easy. I received an appointment reminder, and they called when they were on their way. They were professional and courteous, replaced and installed an indoor ceiling fan, and fixed an existing wiring issue on our outdoor deck…
Taylor was professional, as always. The job was completed in a timely manner. He explained what work would be accomplished . He briefed me on the work when it was accomplished. Lightning Bug Electric is our “go-to” company for our electrical needs.
Dear Lightning Bug Electric Team, I am writing to share my positive feedback regarding the service provided by Chris W. and his apprentice. Chris demonstrated exceptional professionalism, honesty, and dedication to high-quality work. He addressed my questions directly and showed thorough care in all aspects of the…
On time, quality work, professional
New installation, replacement installation, outlet rewiring and relocation. Marcus worked tirelessly for two days. Both Marcus and Gabrielle did a fantastic job. Love the work and left the place spotless. Cody was great with walking us through everything we needed and suggesting great options that enhanced our living space.
I am extremely satisfied with the work completed today. The technicians arrived on time, were professional throughout the entire project, and took the time to explain everything that was being installed and upgraded. The team replaced our old, corroded Square D pool panel with a brand-new pool panel installed near…
Aaron was prompt, respectful and efficient.
Lightning Bug Electric did a great job adding a new circuit to my basement and adding a floor outlet in the living room. They were very responsive during the whole process from quote request to estimating to installation. Vey professional work from Chris and Hunter
Lightening Bug came out to install a ceiling fan in my daughter and SIL's bedroom. It is an older condo unit and there was no light in the ceiling, so wire had to be run as well as installing the fan I had purchased for them. Steve and Jake did an amazing job. I've had a lot of projects done over the years (hence…
These two guys who came out where very friendly and went above and beyond expectations for the transaction. They also provided me with estimates and quotes for other things that had been bothering me about my house, and they did a good job cleaning up everything.
We called Lightning Bug to bring our daughter’s new home up to date. There were many issues left by the previous owners. I asked for Steve, who had worked on my house. Steve did an excellent job. He and his helper Cairo did a thorough inspection. He made recommendations, and we chose a whole house upgrade. Steve…
Griffen and Joseph did excellent work for me today. I had a laundry list of work that needed done, including a full replacement of my electrical panel, a replacement of my dryer outlet, and installing GFCIs. They were professional yet personable, and in some ways it felt like having a couple friends over to help.…
Christian was excellent. He was exactly on time, explained everything he was going to do, had suggestions for install locations, and even mounted the charging hardware for the car charger for me. I can't say enough good things. He was professional, knowledgeable and fast! The install looks amazing. Highly recommend…
Lightning Bug has been doing a lot of work in a newly renovated house that we recently moved into. Today they came out to help repair an electrical outlet where stone had been installed as part of a new cabinet installation. They had done the new wiring for this, including adding an outlet for an espresso machine…
Thank you to the Lighting Bug team for coming onsite and going the extra mile to get the project completed. Leo and Eddie, you are both amazing workers. Really enjoyed the positive attitude that you both brought to make this tedious project enjoyable and fun.
Lightning Bug Electric did an AMAZING job. I was experiencing intermittent issues with breakers tripping. LBE quickly arranged for Cody to come assess my home. He quickly diagnosed a significant danger with my panel overheating and provided a very approachable price to address the issues. LBE prioritized a…
Very professional. Really gave great advice and were very honest and transparent. Explained everything clearly and very efficient with their testing. Definitely would recommend!
Quick to respond to my request. Provided an on-site, detailed, free estimate of the work to be completed. Excellent communication throughout the process. If you want your project done right the first time, I recommend using LBE.
I had fun today swapping out the old wall oven that quit working. Getting the old oven out of there by myself was the biggest challenge because that oven was heavy. I also had to do a little bit of carpentry work to reduce the size of the opening so the new oven wouldn't be sliding around once it was installed.…
Steve R. and Chris W. spent several days in our home relocating electrical components to support a kitchen remodel involving new appliance placements and updated recessed lighting. Throughout the project, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep technical knowledge, and strong troubleshooting abilities.…
Lightning bug did great work and were wonderful at communicating! Updating to add: Steve was awesome to work with! They came to fix a light fixture that had come loose, and left everything 5x better than they found it. Very competent, knowledgeable, and kind.
Bryson was incredibly helpful, patient with explanations, and professional in his duties! Thank you.
I've used LIghtning Bug several times for a wide variety of issues and upgrades with our 1960s home and they've been great! Griffen and Christian were standouts for their knowledge, skill, and professionalism plus a true get-it-done mentality. Cody was also great in proposing options with solutions that wouldn't…
We recently hired Lightening Bug Electric for several electrical upgrades in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Aaron was our technician throughout the entire process, and he was fantastic — professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Over the course of a week, as our project needs…
Guys installed a generator I had purchased elsewhere. They did an Excellent job, and didn’t leave until the job was completely finished . Can’t thank Leo enough for the job he did. Would highly recommend Lightning Bug electric for any of your electrical needs . These guys are Fantastic!!
I’ve used different electricians over the years. I will never use anyone other than Lightning Bug going forward. If you’re looking for the cheapest electrician you can find, look elsewhere. If you want it done right, your search is over.
Cody and Chris are both wonderful! They told me what was needed and they did it! It’s so refreshing to not have to deal with poor communication and misrepresentation between the estimate and the final bill. In the future, I will definitely be a repeat customer! Happy customer! -June Brown
Lightning Bug Electric did an outstanding job from start to finish. Their communication was clear, scheduling was easy, and they showed up on time ready to work. The electrician was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything before getting started. The work was completed efficiently and…
The whole team at Lightning Bug was great to work with! Cody was great assessing our problems and going over what work we need to get done now and down the road. And I have to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to Taylor the Rat King and Saint Steven! Really great guys that came in and got my furnace wiring and a new circuit breaker setup. Thanks again guys!
The workers were professional and updated us the progress of the work. Work was completed as promised. I was pleased with the service provided.
Griffen and his helper Steve were prenominal.
We had an outstanding experience with Lightning Bug Electric. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and very well done. A special thanks to Tim, Leo, and Louis — they were knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to explain every step of the details of recommended solutions and teamwork…
I have used LBE multiple times now. I originally picked them for their competitive pricing and great reviews. I waited to post a review until I had a few experiences with them. They (Christian & Kristian) updated the electrical panel for my whole house, which was a big job, and I also had some smaller jobs done by…
Quick response, honest assessment, competitive price, excellent workmanship. I have nothing but good things to say. My complements to Cody, Aaron and Steve on a job well done.
Aaron and Christian installed a towel warmer for me in my bathroom. It was not a basic install and had to meet some specific requirements on my part (look, position, plug availability…). They came up with a solid solution that looks and works great. The took good care of my space, cleaned up, and made sure I was…
Steve literally saved my house from burning down! I bought a house two months ago and my inspector did a horrible job. I had to have my whole house re-piped and the plumbers noticed the electrical wasn’t up to code. Steve jumped right on it and immediately found a breaker that was burning. He changed out my…
Just completed the fourth project with Lightning bug and will continue to use them for any and all electrical work in our home. Very professional in their work. Meticulous, thorough and neat. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience!! Great and super professional Company! Front the moment of the booking all the way to the service, it has been an absolute great experience! Josh has been fantastic and very patient in explaining codes, rules and regulations and answering to all my questions!!
The electricians are courteous, respectful, efficient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
Very friendly, professional, informative installer. Steve is always great.
Did a great job and was very prompt. Would recommend.
This is the second time I have used Lightning Bug Electric. The first time was for my home and today was for one of my commercial properties. Jeremy replaced a switch in breaker panel and a light fixture in the break room. He is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I will definitely use LBE for any…
There are many choices to select from when it comes to hiring a company to help with electrical work, however there’s only one that I’ve found that provides a memorable experience, Lightning Bug Electric! The entire team at Lightning Bug Electric is always helpful from the initial call to after the job, however our…
Jeremiah and Don were very friendly, helpful and thorough. They were conscientious and seemed genuinely concerned about our safety.. Their work was already tested by a lightening strike which resulted in no electrical damage.
Best electric company I've had the pleasure of using. They were fast,efficient, patient, and willing to work with my budget. Will be using them for all projects going forward for sure.
The team from LBE was amazing. I'm a former contractor. It's great to see real professional tradesmen that hold themselves and the quality of their work to higher standards than even those required by code. They upgraded the service and rewired my 1962 model home which I knew was not going to be an easy project.…
Very responsive, and clearly very concerned with good quality customer service. They were kind all around and patient with all our questions.
Cale at the lighting bug electric company has been the best electrician I have dealt with so far in the Atlanta area. I had a power outage in 2 rooms and he was able to identify the issue quickly and fixed the same day. He was very knowledgeable, professional, informative, fair and honest. He did not try to sell…
Scott was the bees knees!
Excellent, thorough, and professional work. Scheduled in a timely fashion and the work was done very quickly. Would recommend to anyone looking for electrician services.
Great service. Highly recommend them.
Steve and Chris did an outstanding job! From the moment they arrive to the minute they left it was a great experience. They showed up and put down a floor mat outside the door. I explained what was wrong and they went to work. They assessed the problem quickly and went to work. They checked the panel box and…
We had some faulty outlets and needed an outlet installed on our deck. Cale was our electrician and he did a great job. He explained what needed to be done and why in a professional manner. Good young man and we appreciate the quality of his work.
Great experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and let me pay on a credit card without an extra fee. Cale was great!
Cody and Mac (michael) did a great job on our landscape lighting and security lights and were very thorough and professional. They worked through the rain and humidity. We plan to use them for future work!
Incredibly impressed with the electrical work and professionalism that Steven from Lightening Bug Electric demonstrated. We’ve been searching for a great electrician for years and we’re happy our search is over!
Everything about this company is professional from start to finish - scheduling, confirming, and the work itself. Our technician, Dakota arrived promptly. Courteous, thorough, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. He attentively listened to our needs and proceeded to break everything down for us in an easy to…
Lightning Bug did a wonderful job with a project that turned out to be much bigger than we anticipated. Steven was always professional, communicative, and thorough! Highly recommend.
I've been using Lightning Bug for all of my electrical needs since 2016, when I lived in Dunwoody. They've always gone above and beyond, Bobby and James and Josh in particular, even coming out when I moved to Lilburn before it was technically part of their service area! Most recently they did a bunch of work on my…
Steve and Cale were very thorough and professional! They found the problem and got it taken care of! Highly recommend Lightning Bug!
Electrician Justin Gilley 1. On time, ahead of the appointment. 2. Professional service, courteous and detailed in explanation 3. Lifetime warranty 4. Quick repair/installation
Very professional. Walked me through the entire process step by step and quoted me before any work was started. Will use again and I highly recommend
Service person (Dakota) was top notch. On time, friendly, knowledgeable, and was very informative. Answered all questions, made suggestions and explained how the work would be done. Everything went well and would definitely recommend and use again.
Phenomenal! They have done a couple jobs at our house and every time they are great. The latest job is installing a charging station for an electric vehicle. This was not the typical install and the company providing the charging station has been terrible. Tim Jordan at LBE has gone above and beyond to make sure…
Steven was the electrician. He was polite, knowledgeable and professional and he took time to explain the issues and then the options available. I would absolutely use Steven again
Steven V. was awesome to work with! We had used him before and it was such a good experience we decided to call him again to hard wire our TV and replace a light fixture. We highly recommend using him and The Lightning Bug.
Great experience overall - and impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of our tech, Steven. We would definitely use Lightning Bug again and recommend them to others.
I had a bunch of stuff that needed to be done, and Cody was recommended by a neighbor. Called to ask if earlier day would work for an early inspection visit to survey the work, and came next day with a crew of 4 to complete it. Price was decent, all things considered, but service, communication and quality were…
Amazing and couldnt have asked for a better electrician for all of our needs.
I want to commend the entire team, consisting of Leo, Cale, Scuba, Orlando, Jordan, and Rigo; for exemplary customer service. I will definitely refer this company to my family and coworkers. This team was professional, knowledgeable, and exceeded my expectations.
Dakota was very professional and very knowledgeable. He showed up when he said he would. He communicated with our plumber concerning wiring of our water heater. He’s very skilled at his trade and he’s very personable. He explained what needed to be done in a way that I could understand. He was thorough and he…
Dakota was great. I’ll ask for him again.
Lightning Bug performed the electrical work for my finished basement project and I cannot express how pleased I am with their work. It was a large project (870 sq ft from stud framing) and there were a few changes along the way. Coleman, the master electrician, was very communicative throughout the project, asked…
We love LB! They take such good care of us. Not the cheapest out there, but they are really thorough. I trust them.
Dakota was outstanding. Completed in timely manner. Left the worksite clean. I will ask for him personally next time I need electrical work.
They were able to quickly install and run conduit for our new breaker boxes. They took care of everything and were awesome to work with.
