Our living room chandelier had stopped working so we called our go-to electricians- Lightening Bug Electric. On the same day we called, we were visited by one of the nicest, most efficient, professional electricians I have ever met. Clay McKeel, our LBE electrician immediately found the lighting problem and determined that the lamp could light no more; it had reached the end of its safe operation. I expected that Clay would ask us to find a replacement light, purchase it, whereupon he would return to install it some days later. Not at all....Clay helped us to find a perfect replacement lamp on line, then drove to the local store to purchase the lamp. Returning within a half hour, he installed the new lamp, insuring that it was adjusted properly in the ceiling, then made certain that we were happy with the installation. Wowsers! AND the price for the installation was very reasonable. Clay McKeel- a super nice guy, a professional, gracious, authentic. Bravo LBE for sending Clay to do work for us. We'll call again when we have another electrical need. read more

I had four issues: a new candelabra to replace an old one, a bad switch, a bad socket and a kitchen breaker that kept tripping. The electrician came, examined the 4, and gave a quote right away. The light was installed (and he took the old one), and the switch and socket replaced. He inspected the panel as part of their normal service, and found that prior to my owning the property, someone replaced a breaker with a spacer, but left a wire hanging, uncapped. He fixed that. The kitchen breaker was already at the max for the wiring. He found that there were 2 breakers controlling counter sockets. He suggested I plug one of the amp gobbling appliances into the other circuit, because upping the amps would mean new wiring. Great service. Knowledgeable, friendly and professional electrician. read more

Call to schedule an estimate for pricing and was told that the company does not service my area however my community (which is a newly developed subdivision) is within their service area map on Yelp. The conversation with one of the receptionist was extremely off-putting when I asked for rationale... smh My husband and I are both retired military veterans and was looking to support a veteran owed company. Oh well... we will take our business to another company. read more

Great service! My service rep/tech was Steven. He was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He noted & showed me a couple of improper wiring (and potentially dangerous conditions from the previous company that installed by breaker box (under sized wiring for 20A circuits)) and corrected it. He genuinely wanted to make sure that everything was properly up to safety code/standards. He installed a new 14-50 outlet for a ev charger and the quality of workmanship was superb. I will use them for my upcoming projects, specifically asking for Steven for my technician. Lastly I tip my hat to the owner; during finishing up the project we chatted for a while & Steven relayed how the owner treats his employees so well. That how you keep great, dedicated employees. read more

This company is totally professional. The technician showed up on time, was actually early, and it was a real pleasure to work with him on the lighting in my kitchen. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to advise me about the technical aspects of lighting, as well as what would be appropriate for my decor. He explained everything clearly, and was very generous with the time that it took for me to make the decisions. In addition, I had more than one problem that needed to be dealt with. I am extremely happy with the results and feel that my home is safer because he was able to fix the electrical issues I had. I highly recommend this company and will certainly not hesitate to use them again. Also, for a surge protector, a faulty dimming switch, and the new disc lighting installed the very same it was $1342, which I thought was very reasonable. read more

Tim called me after my review posted. He did apologize for the woman I spoke to not offering to make any accommodations. They honored the Yelp offer and refunded me as if I had purchased the deal. He also explained that their pricing is high due to the insurance they have to carry for their techs and their work. I really appreciate that the company cares enough to read their Yelp reviews and contact me. read more

I was in need of 2 chandeliers to be installed with 19' ceilings. I was told the minimum would be $425 with a $30 trip charge. That was fine with me. I made an appointment to get a more accurate quote. When the technicians arrived and presented me with a quote I was in shock. The $425 was just a 'ladder fee'. This is per light install. So it would have been $850 minimum for the job, not the $425 the company originally told me. If I would have know this I wouldn't have waisted my time and the technicians time to come out, plus I would have saved my $30. I feel the company mislead my from the beginning just to get my $30. I will never use this company, very unprofessional. Oh, the final quote was over $1,500 to get 2 chandeliers installed. I do have 19' ceilings, but the quote seemed outrageous. read more

This company is 100% amazing and professional. I recently had some in-house wiring work done (coax cable extension). The tech came out and observed the home and the potential labor. The techs name is Jeremy. After some witty banter and great conversation he revealed himself to be a very approachable and professional technician. He clearly understood my needs and was quoted a fair price. My appointment was scheduled for the following week between 10am - 12pm. Jeremy arrived promptly and began work. He managed various difficulties the house presented to him with the expertise one would expect. Before long he finished the job. I tested the coaxial line and everything is operational. This entire experience has been fantastic and I even made a friend in Jeremy. I highly recommend this place. Prices are fair and the work is top quality. Trust me - You will not be disappointed in the least. read more

Lightning Bug has done two jobs for us now and we have been very pleased both times. Tim came out to give us an estimate and even suggested things to help us that we hadn't thought of ourselves. Jamie did the work on both jobs and he is fantastic! He is honest, upfront, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you have what you need. Everyone we've spoken to has been great-from reception to electricians. read more

Not bad. they came when they said they would. But from start to finish I did not feel they valued me as customer. small requests like stop calling to see if we were available earlier than our scheduled date or to call me, not my wife were ignored - all week long till our scheduled appointment. So that was just annoying. Then there is the $300 just to show up fee. I feel if you have a pretty solid minimum fee that should be mentioned when setting up the appointment - not when tech walks in the door. So my specific repair went like this. I called and said "my circuit break trips when we turn on the oven". The tech showed up and mentioned the $300 thing before he would talk about repair. I just want it over so i say okay. He turns on oven, circuit breaker trips. He does it again and says "yep the circuit breaker trips when you turn on the oven". $300 to tell me what I told them a week earlier setting up appointment. So they didn't do anything they didn't say they would. He was very clear about minum charge before he would walk in the door so I did pay it. But I personally won't ever call them again. read more

Good quality work and great customer service. I felt the pricing was a bit expensive but I really don't have anything to compare it to. I spent $1100 to do the following work: troubleshoot/fix a 3-way switch (my hallway light can be turned on/off from 3 different switches but not all of them were working), install 2 GFI breakers for the kitchen, and replace two outlets (with outlets and covers that I bought). The electrician also looked at our electrical panel at no extra charge and gave his opinion on how to change the doorbell. The technician reviewed the work and the associated cost before performing any work so I knew exactly how much the work was going to cost. read more

Cale came to fix my bathroom vent fan. He was very patient and nice and went back to get the correct size fan once measuring it and then came back. It was good service, only it ended up costing extra $75 from what the estimate was. Hopefully the fan will work for many years! read more

We are selling our home & I had a a project I needed taken care of quickly. I called Lightning Bug Electric & they were at our home within an hour! They sent an email with a picture of the technician who was coming so there wouldn't be any confusion upon his arrival. When Joshua arrived he was friendly, yet professional. He determined what the problem was & gave me a fair estimate. He went to work right away. He was very efficient & was finished before I knew it! He explained & showed me exactly what he had done. I was very pleased with Joshua, Lightning Bug Electric & the whole experience. I would most definitely use them again. Susan McCarthy read more

Steven V was excellent!!! He was early to the appointment. He explained everything to me that he was doing very clearly and was able to fix my problem fast! Very, Very polite (I asked a lot of questions). Extremely knowledgeable and helpful (Of course he is because he is the professional) He deserves a BIG BIG BIG!!! RAISE! At least 100% raise. read more

In the middle of a COVID-19 existence, we still needed service from an electrician. On Saturday, I contacted Lightning Bug Electric through Yelp, and the owner Becca got back with me immediately. She answered all of our questions, and we set up an appointment for this Monday (today), and she assured me that the electricians would wear masks, gloves, and foot coverings. Two service technicians worked today in our home, and we were both pleased with their protective measures (for them and for us!) as well as with their service. I would highly recommend working with Lightning Bug Electric, and both my husband and I are impressed by their professionalism. read more

LBE. Thank you for coming back and making my kitchen look great. Thank you again Steve and his team for taking care of us read more

I purchased a brand new dryer and it would not work. I thought for sure the dryer was bad. I called Lightning Bug Electric to come and take a look at the breaker. The electrician Justine came out the next day and examined the breaker and it was bad. My house was built in the late 1980's and after inspection the electrician Justin suggested I get a whole new breaker box. He took the time to show me how the box was worn out. He gave me an estimate on replacing the box. He also replaced the bad breaker and moved it to a new location in the box. The electrician Justin spent a lot of time explaining everything to me. Everything worked out okay and my new dryer is working great. We are planning on having Lightning Bug Electric come back out and replace the old breaker box sometime later this year. read more

I'm so glad I found Lightning Bug Electric! The office staff has been very friendly and the electricians have been so amazing! Jason and Dell have come to my home a couple of times to do work. They hung a light in my basement and installed numerous exterior lights, as well as an outdoor ceiling fan. Jason even came up with great ideas to add some landscape lighting to our existing system and some unique lights over an outdoor swing. He is really an exceptional electrician and so fast with installation! I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing electricians who are also extremely courteous! read more

I wanted to give a shout out to Cody and Jamal. They did a great job installing my Chargepoint Ev charger. If you need an EV charger installed please call Lightning Bug!! read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lightning Bug for electrical services! Steven V. came to our house and was on time, professional, and courteous. While he gave us several quotes for multiple projects, he was not pushy and took his time explaining each project individually. We opted for one project, which he did excellently, and we will be calling in the future for other work! read more

Cale installed ring security cameras on my patio and over my garage. The install was fast and the cost was reasonable. He's very knowledgeable about wiring and I feel extremely confident with the work. My street was getting paved and I offered to reschedule but Cale just carried his ladder and all his tools from the next street over. I definitely plan to use Lightning Bug for my future electrical needs. Thank you!! read more

The experience from initial contact to completion was very smooth and efficient. Cody W our service rep was pleasant and professional. Once we agreed o scope of work, Cody completed the work flawlessly, cleaned up and was gone sooner than I expected. A+ All the way. read more

I called Lightening Bug 8/18 and they came out the SAME day! Talk about quick. Steve and Jacob came out with masks and booties to do an estimate. An hour later (as promised) they came back with a ladder to replace my 2nd story foyer light and ceiling fan in my Owner's Suite. AMAZING job! We're soooo happy! Jacob was very knowledgeable and assembled my ceiling fan without any issues. He even asked if I wanted the fan to work via the remote or the switch. Steve made sure he didn't fall off that tall ladder all while making sure my light was perfectly straight! They work very well together as a team. Absolutely FUNNY and sweet! Impeccable customer service from the time I called to the time they left out. Can't wait to use this company again! Only if either Jacob or Steve is doing the job tho! And we received a Veteran's discount. Proud USMC wife! Thank you! read more

Additional update: Refund never received. Update: Company contacted us and resolved the issue to our satisfaction. I have updated our star rating and believe that this company is honest and does care about customer service. We appreciated the opportunity to have this addressed. Original: $250 for 15 minutes worth of work replacing an electrical outlet. We were then told that the problem was actually with the ceiling fan and we should replace the fan. Not happy with the service at all. read more

I have a rental property in Milton and since I live in Charleston, I expect to be burned when tenants call for repair needs. I used Lightning Bug a several months ago and while they are pricey for Charleston, were what I expected for anyone near Atlanta. Plus they were informative, helpful, the tenants seemed pleased - well, so was I. So I called them when the same lighting issue resurfaced. Matt called and explained the normal charges but said he needed to call his manager since they had fixed this earlier. He called later to say that he had examined the problem light switch and found it faulty. He was leaving to pick up a replacement but wanted me to know there would be No Charge. Thanks Matt! And thanks to his manager who knew I was out-of-state and would never know if they said it was something else. And thanks Anthony (earlier technician) for documenting exactly what you did so they knew it was under warranty. read more

Our neighbors referred us to Lightning Bug Electric and they did not disappoint. They confirmed the appointment, arrived on time, and did a good job. I would highly recommend this company to anyone based on this one experience. Special shout out to Lenin, he was super nice, super knowledgeable and did a great job. We will be back for some canned lighting in the basement. Thanks again for a job well done. read more

Steven came out today because I had a concern with one of my outlets. He came on time and was very professional and knowledgeable. He assured me nothing was wrong and gave me the piece of mind I needed. While he was here I asked for a quote for some other electrical work I wanted done. He gave me great advice and recommendations. Will definitely have him back out when we're ready. Thanks again! read more

Hey Eddie, thanks for replying. The property is owned by Circle Property Group. This particular house is located at 2144 Rexford Dr 30034 I appreciate the concern but the job was permitted, passed with flying colors and even included moving the pole from the backside of the house to the side the city wanted it on. Passed first time so no need to worry Ed. He even patched the walls where a single outlet in the middle of the wall was knocked out empty and two outlets placed on the wall per code. This took place in both bedrooms and living room. Then, of course, the wall above and below the electrical panel. Not only did Lightning Bug do a crap job that was unable to pass code, but claimed there wasn't enough room in the box when in fact I had six open circuits in a 55 year old panel (that didn't need to be replaced ($1,500) and walked away with over $2,500 in bullshit electricity. Eddie, I've found that in any building contractor work NOT PERMITTED is always shoddy work. I should've permitted YOUR work Eddie but I couldn't. There's no such thing as a "kitchen permit". Eddie, your guys are either following policy set down by you, or you've got some electricians out of control, or incentivized to keep a percentage of their quotes. Eddie the house is a tiny 1,000 sqft, 2/1 home. It's impossible to justify $17,000. Just say'n Eddie read more

Superb home electrical help! Took just a little over 24 hours from first call to estimate to three repaired fixtures and some cable run in the walls. They have their process down to a science--Becca in the office takes calls, dispatches, and provides useful updates, while the electrician Jeremy R. absolutely nails the execution of the work. Jeremy worked with me to arrive at the best solutions while estimating. When he arrived again the next day he had all his kit and materials ready and worked with me to disturb my home office as little as possible as I did my job. Really appreciated the flat-rate pricing; it meant that when an issue DID come up with some of my in-home wiring I did not have to worry about a cost change. Looking forward to shaking Jeremy's hand again after a job well done the next time I need electrical work. read more

Steven and Tito showed up really fast, on schedule during a very busy time after Hurricane Zeta.

Sam and his crew did an outstanding job on our install yesterday! They were quick and clean while following every possible safety standard. We had a pretty large order and it was time sensitive, so Sam and his crew came out on a Saturday to help us. They were accommodating to every request we made and the finished product is awesome! We will be using Lightning Bug Electric for all future projects! read more
