Residential and commercial electrical work in Opelika: 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 Opelika every week, which means a call from a Opelika 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.
Housing stock in Opelika covers a wide range of decades, and the wiring tells you which. Two-prong outlets, cloth-insulated cable, 60 and 100 amp panels and kitchens with a single circuit are all still out there, and all of them limit what a modern household can plug in.

Tell us what is happening. We ask a few questions, give you safety steps if it is urgent, and book a real arrival window.
The electrician traces the actual fault rather than guessing, then explains what is wrong in plain language and what the options are.
Written price before any work begins. If you want to think about it, that is fine — there is no pressure and no charge for the quote on quoted work.
Work completed, circuits tested, breakers labelled, site cleaned. You see it working before we pack up.
★★★★★Our walk-in cooler lost power on a Friday night. They came out, found a failed contactor circuit, and we opened Saturday as normal. Cannot overstate what that was worth.

★★★★★Six recessed lights in the kitchen and under-cabinet strips. They laid out the spacing with tape first and adjusted where I wanted it. Dimmers do not buzz, which apparently is not a given.

★★★★★Generator install went exactly to the schedule they gave us. Storm took the lines down three weeks later and it started on its own. Worth every cent.

Both. In Opelika 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.
