- We Show Up Ready to Work: Our technicians arrive on time, in uniform, and prepared. When they step inside, shoe covers go on and an Lightning Bug Electric mat goes down at the door.

Electrical Issues We Often See in Local Homes
Rome has a lot of older housing. Many homes in the city have been around since 1974, and a meaningful share of the housing stock predates that significantly. That's not a problem in itself, but it does mean the electrical systems in a lot of local homes were designed for a fraction of the load today's households put on them.
If your home was built before the 1980s and hasn't had its electrical system updated, there's a real chance your panel isn't sized for a modern kitchen, a home office, EV charging, or the combination of all of them running at once.
Beyond age, Northwest Georgia's storm seasons put real stress on residential electrical systems. Surge damage is common after heavy weather, and homes without whole-home surge protection are exposed every time a storm moves through Floyd County.
Lightning Bug Electric knows what to look for in this market. When our electricians assess your system, they're not running through a generic checklist. They're looking at what's actually in front of them with the context of what homes in this area typically need.
Professional electrical service is just a phone call away. Call (404) 471-3847 or message us online to schedule any electrical repair or installation.
Common Questions About Our Electrical Services
Do I need a permit for electrical work and will you handle that?
Depending on the scope of work, yes, a permit is likely required. Our team handles the permitting process on your behalf for jobs that require it. You don't need to navigate the Floyd County permitting office on your own.
Are your technicians background-checked?
Yes. Every technician is background-checked and drug-tested before they ever step into a customer's home.
Can you work on the electrical system in a home I'm buying or selling?
Yes, on both ends! If you're buying a home in Rome and the inspection flagged electrical concerns, we can come out, assess the property, and give you an honest picture of what it would take to address. If you're selling and want to get ahead of any issues before listing, a residential electrical safety check is a practical first step.
Do you offer financing for larger jobs?
Yes. Financing is available for projects where the upfront cost is a consideration. If you're looking at a panel replacement, a whole-home rewire, a generator installation, or anything else on the larger end, ask about financing options when you call or when the technician comes out for the assessment.

“My house was working on 1953 electrical technology. Now I have state-of-the-art, up-to-date and room to grow. I can't tell you how professional, both, Aaron and Hunter are, but I can try. These dudes didn't let up. They were in here and they were moving and working, and the whole time letting me know what it is they're doing and what the outcome will be. It went beyond my standard for what a pro is. I'm telling you, these dudes are gnarly professional!! Let's hear it for Aaron and Hunter. And let's not forget 'ol Bobby at the front end of it letting me know what's going to happen and sure enough it did and beyond. I appreciate you all.”Scotty paschal

“I wish to give a great shout out to Mike/Mac, Aaron & all of their crew members - Chris, JoJo etc. Hopefully, I am not leaving anyone out. They were all excellent and went above & beyond our expectations. They minimized the amount of time that we were without power. Everything that needed to be done was thoroughly explained. Without threat, they immediately put on booties to protect my cream colored carpet. I must admit almost missing their presence in my home. I will reach out again for future jobs I have in mind.”Christine Clay & John Kauffmann
