Residential and commercial electrical work in Akron: panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting, EV chargers, generators, outlets and emergency repair. Fixed price before we start.
Lightning Bolt Electric has crews working in and around Akron every week, which means a call from a Akron address is a short drive rather than a special trip. We handle residential and commercial electrical work across the board — repairs, installations, panel upgrades, rewires, EV chargers, generators and lighting.
Small businesses in Akron rarely have the luxury of closing for a repair. That is why so much of our commercial work here happens overnight or before opening, with the schedule agreed in advance rather than improvised on the day.

Both. In Akron we run residential repairs and installs during the day and commercial work in the evenings and at weekends so businesses do not have to close. The pricing approach is identical.
For common jobs — an outlet, a fan, a GFCI, a breaker swap — yes, often on the first call. For panels, rewires, EV chargers and anything involving the service entrance, we need eyes on it, because a phone quote on those is a guess and guesses turn into surprise invoices.
