Is 24/7 emergency service available for 23666?
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.

Expect the same structure as the national market: roughly $50-$150 per hour for licensed residential work plus a trip fee of about $75-$200, with most common jobs priced flat-rate per task. Local labour rates in Virginia move the national ranges by roughly 10-25% either way, and panel capacity work starts around $1,300 and rises from there.
What warranty should I expect?
Workmanship warranties are set by the contractor, and one to two years on labour is common on larger jobs, with manufacturers covering the equipment separately. Ask for the warranty terms in writing on the invoice, not verbally.
