Residential and commercial electrical work in Southside: panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting, EV chargers, generators, outlets and emergency repair. Fixed price before we start.
When something electrical goes wrong in Southside, the questions are always the same: is it safe, how long will it take, and what will it cost. We answer all three on the first call. Lightning Bolt Electric covers Southside and the surrounding AL communities for everything from a dead outlet to a full service upgrade, and dispatch stays open around the clock.
Summer storms across this part of AL are hard on service equipment. A good share of our Southside call-outs between spring and autumn trace back to surges, lightning damage to boards and control gear, or water finding its way into a meter base or exterior receptacle.

★★★★★We had them install a Tesla charger in the garage. They checked the panel first and told us we did not need the upgrade another company insisted on. Saved us a small fortune.

Both. In Southside 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.
