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.

A licensed contractor will give you the number, and usually the insurance certificate too, without being asked twice.
