Tim and Leo are amazing! Service and communication is by far the best I have dealt with. They were professional and courteous through the entire experience.
Diagnosed a broken connection on neutral wire. I am in a new home.
Lighting Bug services were called to repair ceiling fans. While here service technician Aaron identified a serious issue with our aged electrical panels which were definitely out of code and had been a product recall decades ago. LB Techs Aaron and Cairo diligently worked a very long day yesterday making sure that…
Although they are still in the process of working on our electrical needs, their work has been nothing less than superb.
Aaron and Ciaro took excellent care of our electrical issues. We were experiencing circuit problems where the connections kept popping off, and they handled everything efficiently. They were professional, courteous, and respectful throughout the visit. I especially appreciated their attention to cleanliness—they…
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…
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.
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!
The electricians are courteous, respectful, efficient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
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 continue to have a wonderful experience with Lightning Bug Electric. Today, Jeffrey and Jamal came out to repair my doorbell and take a look at some loose outlet cover plates. They were timely, knowledgeable, thorough, and very pleasant to talk with throughout the appointment. I never worry about any work that…
I had a great experience with Josh as my technician. He was thorough with his troubleshooting process and explained things clearly to me as well. I have already scheduled for him to come back to the house for more work and I am happy that I have found an electrical company I can rely on!
Excellent service, expert knowledgeable. Efficient professional and friendly, Dakota did an excellent job explaining everything.
Can’t say enough good things about Dakota with Lightning Bug Electric!! He is extremely knowledgeable and very patient and he thoroughly explained everything he was doing. He checked and fixed the problems I reported, and he also carefully inspected for any other potential issues - and all along he educated me about…
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…

Cale Y and his helpers were great! I will definitely be using Lightening Bug Electric again for all of my future electrical needs. They were professional, extremely knowledgeable, went above and beyond, and also left the house very clean. I highly recommend this company!
Steven from LBE was so helpful, and because of him, I feel more confident and educated about my electrical system. He listened, answered every question, never once pressured me, worked hard all day, and was the best I've ever had, explaining the problem, cost, building codes, how to prevent future issues, and my…

Great, knowledgeable service. Our electrician explained everything and couldn’t have been more helpful and interested in taking super care of us. Highly recommend Lighting Bug and our electrician Dakota.
I have used this company numerous times and the technicians are always friendly and courteous. They strive to make certain I understand the problem and the solution. I never feel pressured to have the work done.
We called Lightning Bug on a Friday night after power arced and knocked out the power to our house because a squirrel had chewed through the line. Jamie Gilley was there within the hour and stayed until after 10 getting us back up and running. The power surge had also knocked out our microwave, and Jamie…
Sassy was a pleasure and worked around our difficult schedule making sure we were taken care of. We had a misunderstanding about scheduling and she went above and beyond to make it happen. Cale was like family the moment he showed up. Took care to think of our family. Talked to me about codes. Really educated me on…
My technician was Steven. Steven was amazing! Steven is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and arrived on time for all appointments. I will definitely use Lightning Bug Electric for any future electrical projects.
