How Do I Know When the Technician Will Arrive for My Scheduled Service?

When it's time for your chimney cleaning, chimney repair, fireplace cleaning or other services, we know it can be a little nerve-wracking to wait for your technician. No one really likes to be kept guessing about when they'll arrive. Let's break down exactly what you can expect when your scheduled service day comes and how you'll know when your technician is on their way.

1. Booking Your Appointment

When you book an appointment with us for any chimney or fireplace service—whether it's sweeping, cleaning, repairing, or servicing your chimney or fireplace—we'll start off by giving you a service window. This is a time range during which you can expect our technician to arrive. For example, your service window could be something like 8 AM to 12 PM or 1 PM to 5 PM.

  • What happens after booking?

After scheduling, we send you a confirmation email or text message. This message includes:

  • The date of your appointment.
  • The service window.
  • Contact information in case you need to reach us.

2. Service Day Reminders

Night Before Reminder

We know you're busy and might forget about your appointment. To help keep you on track, we send out a reminder the evening before your appointment. This reminder will come via email, text, or even both! It will confirm the following:

  • Your appointment date and time.
  • The service window.
  • A brief overview of the services you've requested (like chimney sweeping, fireplace cleaning, or chimney repair).

Day Of Service Reminder

To make things even easier, we also send a reminder on the morning of your scheduled service. This reminder will include everything the night before reminder did, just in case you missed it or need the info again. We like to keep our customers informed every step of the way.

3. Knowing When Your Technician Will Arrive

Tracking the Technician

On the day of your appointment, you want to know exactly when your technician is heading your way. We have a few resources to keep you informed:
