Probably the worst experience I’ve ever had with a contractor. I don’t have the energy to type up everything that occurred but I probably spent close to $10k or better and I still have issues in my 5bed/3bath house that I was paying them to diagnose/fix. About 4k of that project was installing an EV charger and…

Josh did a great job troubleshooting the problem with an outlet, called for help to get my chandelier install the same day instead of having to come back another time, and told me how to repair a fan myself. He was very professional and friendly, and made the repairs efficiently. I'll definitely be using Lightning Bug again!

Responded quickly when we lost power on a weekend. Fair pricing. Steven was really nice and professional. We felt he went above and beyond to explain the issues to us and help us get power restored the same day in the middle of summer. Amy, the dispatcher, was really nice also and responded quickly to us.

I've been using Lightning Bug for all of my electrical needs since 2016, when I lived in Dunwoody.
