When I was younger, I had a habit of taking apart things that weren’t working to fix them. I recall one instance when I dismantled a small kitchen appliance without realizing it was still plugged in. Indeed, I received a shock, and that incident marked the beginning of my journey. Originally from Florida, my grandfather was an electrician and my father a painter. I guess I caught the electrical bug from my grandfather and the business drive from my parents. Having parents in the painting business, I witnessed the dedication required to operate a successful venture. My goal is to run a thriving electrical company that would make my grandfather and parents proud.

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

Courteous, confident and competent. We needed a quick upgrade to our antiquated and janky attic electrical system prior to an extensive insulation job and LBE saved the day! Bobby was quick to evaluate the situation and suggested needed work to get the attic squared away and in a much safer condition. Esteban and Taylor took on the job a few days later and overcame all the obstacles in their way. They expertly upgraded and repaired my derelict attic system, replacing many old junction boxes and connections, rerouted existing cables and installed new wiring and breakers where needed. We were grateful to have them on the spot when a fault in the system appeared necessitating immediate repair. They stayed an extra 3 hours to ensure the fault was repaired and everything connected to it was good. Esteban and Taylor did some great work and were adamant about not leaving until we were satisfied. Bobby followed up a few days later to ensure all was up to speed for the attic insulation installation. Top notch professionalism and adherence to Covid 19 protocols all around. I will use LBE again for future suggested work and functional upgrades! So glad we called LBE in to get our old home some much needed TLC.

Steven and Tito showed up really fast, on schedule during a very busy time after Hurricane Zeta. They quickly diagnosed the problem with restoring power and got to work right away
Under an hour later (and thousands less than another quote), everything was fixed.
Five + stars
Also liked that they showed up in masks

Lightning bug did a great job fixing outlets and wiring in our house. They have expert knowledge and experience and mindful of safety.

Sam arrived on time with his mask on and was very polite. Quickly resolved my buzzing doorbell transformer. Very knowledgeable. I will definitely be calling Lightning Bug Electric for all of my electrical needs.

Excellent service. Kept us apprised of what was going on during project and pretty reasonable rates.

I needed an electrical outlet installed above my fireplace in order to hang a TV. Jeremy showed up on time and did a great job on a tricky install. Can't recommend Lightning Bug enough.

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!

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.

Our electrician, James, provided informative, efficient, and effective service and took al the stress out of an electrical issue. My second time using Lightning Bug Electric, and I will definitely call them with any future electrical needs
