What a night call sounds like
Part of the house is out
Lights are out in some rooms and not others. Afterly marks it for tonight and texts the address. It does not guess which breaker failed.
A breaker is sparking
The caller sees sparks or smells something burning at the panel. Afterly treats that as tonight and sends what they said. It does not tell them to open the panel.
A fan or a remodel
A ceiling-fan quote or a kitchen remodel waits until morning. The night text is for calls that cannot sit.
