Called Lightning Electric on Saturday morning and got same day scheduling for a noon time inspection. Met with Rich who is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Needed to convert an old 240v (Dryer outlet) into two normal 110v outlets and change the double pole circuit breaker into two single 20A breakers. He gave me a good deal and job was done in 1hr. Great service and price. Thanks again RICH!

Fantastic experience! An outlet in the garage wasn't working so I called to see when they could come out. Luckily they had same-day availability and they fixed it no problem. Quick responses, friendly on the phone, absolutely recommend them. Will definitely be working with them in the future. 🙌 Thank you!

Lightning Electric was such a good experience. Richard is seriously the best, super professional, easy to talk to, and just knows what he’s doing. He explained everything in a way that actually made sense and made the whole process feel so stress free. You can tell he really cares about his work and doing things right. I’d 100% recommend them if you want someone reliable.
