Bobby & James came out and were very friendly and consultative. They quickly identified and fixed the immediate issue of our lights not working in the basement, and also provided recommendations around the house on things to keep an eye on or fix. They did not make me feel pressured to buy anything and truly took a consultative approach rather than a sales approach. I would recommend these guys to anyone in need of a friendly and professional electrician. Will use again.

Right on time, very polite and professional. Bought a deal for an exterior outlet on AL, but also needed them to check an issue I was having with a breaker flipping for reasons I couldn't tell. They figured out the issue, showed me the problem and explained it to me in plain English and gave me multiple solutions that were clear and priced reasonably. I'd happily use them again and recommend them to others. Electrician was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

Lee C. and Steven V. did great work. Lee listened and understood what my ultimate goal was and advised me how to best accomplish it. I had some slightly strange requests and with his advice everything came out great. Lee and Steven respected my home and got the work done in a day. Ultimately I could have found someone to do it cheaper, but I can sleep soundly knowing the job was done right by good people. Lightning Bug will be the first call I make for future electrical service.
Description of Work: I had new circuits added to a workshop. Many outlets were installed for the new circuits.

I'd used Lightning Bug Electric at my previous house and thought they did a great job, so I did not hesitate to contact them for work at my new house. We'd recently moved into a 100-year old home and needed to address a few electrical issues. Tim came out and did a walkthrough of the entire house with me to assess our needs and discuss options. I appreciated his feedback about various options to improve the safety of my home. Some of these options were quite expensive - namely arc fault breakers - but I felt that Tim was very straightforward in our discussion without putting any pressure on me or "upselling" more expensive options. After I accepted their quote, work was scheduled very quickly. A three man crew - Leo, Cody, and Duaine came out for the panel replacement, which was an extensive job. They had all work completed same-day and came back the following morning to label the breaker panel and troubleshoot one circuit that was tripping the arc fault breaker. Their entire crew was great -- very courteous, polite and friendly. They took great care to clean up after themselves both inside and outside the house, and lots of nice little touches -- like always putting on cloth boot covers when they came inside the house. They were also very careful about making sure our cats did not get out, which we appreciated. Once again - extremely satisfied with Lightning Bug thanks to Leo, Cody, and Duaine. As far as I am concerned these are "my electricians" that would always be my go-to call for any future electrical work.

Had used Lightning Bug for previous work at old condo, so called again to get same electrician out to do wiring to prep new home for cable and internet. Leon and his assistant did a fantastic job. Very professional and very neat. Ripped down prior owners ugly cables on outside of house and neatly ran new coax cable around chimney and through attic. Cut in new outlets in several rooms and cleaned up all dust and debris as they worked. Also installed new exterior outlet and motion detector flood lights. Will definitely use again for any future needs.

Bobby and Steven came out over 2 days. This is an old house and a lot of dangerous electrical rigging had been done that we didn't know about until Bobby got well into the job. I added some additional items to his original list that were not safety related. They were great, and worked swiftly. I really can't speak to the price as I don't have a comparison, but I know that a lot of work was done and Bobby saved my house from burning down or electrocuting someone. They were pleasant to have around, did their jobs well, and cleaned up. I will definitely consider them my electricians for any future work I need done. I am super picky about who I let into my house and I highly recommend this company and especially Bobby and Steven. Thanks guys!
Description of Work: I got their whole house inspection coupon after my house inspector told me about multiple issues. Bobby came out and did the inspection, and made a list of all the issues. He gave me a quote.

The technician came on time, he was very knowledgeable and provided us with the right solution, we gave a check of 38 dollar for his visit, but after two days I looked at my account saw $381 withdrawn from my account. I called (770) 800-7507 and spoke to the lady Tony Blanca and asked her why they had debited 381 dollars from our account. How can 38 dollars become 381. That lady was extremely rude , shouting on top of her voice and not apologetic for having fraudulently stolen money from us. I would ask who ever does business with this company be very careful of this lady and the amount you pay them check your bank statement and credit card statement to make sure she has not charged you more money.

Response from Lightning Bug Electric
I apologize for your inconvenience and it is unfortunate this happened. The situation that occurred was an honest mistake. When someone is accusing you of bank fraud and stealing from them it is hard to not take offense. It is difficult to remain calm when you point blank tell someone you are sorry let me fix this and they keep insisting that you stole from them. At that stage you can’t win. They already felt wronged no matter what you do. The lady they spoke with was not Tony Blanca. Tony Blanca is a gentleman. It was Melissa Rosenson and she handled the situation the way it needed to be handled. I wish we could submit pictures so that I could show everyone what the check looked like along with the case from the bank and the credit. The customers 38 looked like a 381. The wording was spelled out correctly but when we process a lot of checks at a time sometimes mistakes get made. The thing that upsets me the most is that when the customer called we called the bank immediately. They said this happens all the time but that the bank will always catch it and make it right if we didn’t catch it right then and there. We would have also caught it when we reconciled our account. The bank even went above and beyond and called the customer to let them know that we were not being fraudulent and stealing anything from anyone. We have been in business too long to try and get over on anyone for $381. The customer thought that we went into the bank and added a 1 to the end of the 38. It upsets me the way we were treated by this customer and the way they have spoken to Melissa. We are an honest business. You can’t expect to talk to someone the way they did to us and not be frustrated. They would not listen to us. Melissa did apologize to both the husband and the wife and explained she was rectifying the situation. Both parties did not seem to hear her. She made sure they had their money credited back as soon as possible. I believe we handled it the best way we could and what would normally take 2-3 days took less than 24 hours. If I can answer anymore questions or need to explain any more details of this fine day you can call our office at 770-792-9790 and ask for Tony Blanca.

Bobby and Cody were the electricians and they were punctual, professional and courteous. I'd definitely trust them to do other work in the future. Upon arrival, they checked out the fans and determined that both motors had seized up. One fan was too old to find parts for, so the whole unit needed to be replaced ($553). The other fan, they were able to replace the motor ($413). Bobby wrote up a proposal and once approved, they left to go pick up the needed parts.They returned promptly. After fixing the fans, they moved on to the floodlights and installed them along with junction boxes very quickly. The cost of installing the floodlights seemed high to me ($366.66) as I had purchased the lights and they were replacing existing fixtures, so no wire needed to be pulled or switches installed. Overall, the work went smoothly and everything seems to be working great.
Description of Work: Contacted the company to fix a two out of 3 attic ventilation fans that were not working and install two motion sensor floodlight assemblies I purchased at Home Depot.

Excellent! Bobby O. was my technician and I could not have asked for better service. I told him that I wanted him to check for knob and tube wiring in the attic and quote me to replace it. He looked at the circuit breaker boxes first and showed me some changes he would recommend, and why they should be done (in detail - circuit breakers that are not designed for your specific box may not fit correctly and can cause arcing and heat within the box itself). Then I accompanied him to the attic and he showed me exactly where there was live knob and tube wiring, checking with his hot stick for power. (There was considerable old, dead knob and tube wiring that a different electrician had not checked for power but included for replacement in his quote.) Then Bobby quoted his price, which was about half of my first quote! I mentioned the Angie's List 10% off coupon, he called and verified that which gave me an even lower price. I OK'd the work and he completed it quickly and efficiently. Bobby was also very courteous and was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use Lightning Bug Electric in the future and recommend them highly.

The company was quick to respond to my email service request via Angie's and schedule an appointment. The company contacted us to confirm the appointment the day before the service date and let us know on the morning of the service date that the electrician was on his way. The electrician was very experienced with pool work. H eremoved the old light and installed the new LED light without any hitches, checked to make sure that the pool light housing was properly grounded and checked the wiring at the circuit box. Found that the wiring of the pool circuit was not up to code and corrected the problem. We were very satisfied with the entire experience and strongly recommend Lightning Bug Electric.
Description of Work: Replaced a Pentair inground pool light with a new LED model and rewired the pool circuit to bring it up to code.
