Customer Reviews

Brenda Powell

Service was wonderful. It turned out to be more than a simple hook up of the porch light and fix light switch. The job took longer than expected, Kevin stayed to complete the job. Kevin also went beyond the call and did a small repair that he noticed. This company was wonderful to work with. I would hire again.

White Lightening helped me add an ADU in my basement which include adding a second panel and upgrading my service. Overall, I think the cost and the quality of the work was great! They worked with me at every step and everyone who came to site was great and answered all my questions and concerns efficiently and professionally. I plan to work with them if other items come up!

I am so happy with the service I received from White Lightning Electric Inc. I had a laundry list of electrical updates and they took the time to really talk me through everything. They gave me accurate information on the most cost effective way to protect my old house that doesn’t have ground wires. There are a few ways to deal with this and they leveled with me on what I really needed and what was most affordable. Then came the quote—it was totally reasonable and I was very happy with it, and it was simple to schedule. The electrician Kevin came out to do the actual service, and he really exceeded all of my expectations as far as kindness and friendliness, conscientiousness, clearly thinking through some blockers in the projects (due to the old house), keeping me in the loop and consulting me, and then also educating me about my house/panel/a few home electrical topics. If Kevin comes out to your place, know that you are in good hands. Overall, I highly recommend White Lightning and I am very happy with how things turned out. Next time I need electricL work done they will be my first call.
