Customers tend to hire the first electrician who answers — not the most reviewed, not the cheapest, the first one who picks up. In a market like Birmingham, that's not a slow night — that's your competitor's best night.
Dedicated after-hours electrical coverage is rare. Electricians who answer at 10 PM build word-of-mouth reputation fast.
