Emergency requests are taken around the clock. Eastern time applies locally, and after-hours availability depends on the contractor on duty — genuine emergencies such as burning smells, smoke, sparks or water contacting live wiring are prioritised over routine work.
Do you charge for estimates?
Many contractors give a free estimate on planned work such as a panel replacement, charger install or rewire, while diagnostic visits for an unknown fault usually carry a trip fee that is often credited toward the repair. The exact policy varies by contractor, and it should be confirmed on the phone before anyone travels.
