Why Confirmation Matters

Importance of a Confirmation

Getting a confirmation for your appointment is important for several reasons:

  • Peace of mind: You know your appointment is scheduled.
  • Clarification: It often includes the date, time, and details of your appointment.
  • Communication: It confirms that we’ve received your request and are ready to help.

Whether it’s a chimney cleaning, fireplace repair, or sweeping service, knowing that your appointment is set gives you confidence. Plus, being prepared helps avoid any last-minute surprises.

Steps to Take If You Don’t Receive a Confirmation

Step 1: Check Your Email and Other Communication

Your first step should be to check all potential lines of communication.

  • Check your email: Sometimes, appointment confirmations might end up in your spam or junk folder.
  • Text messages: Some confirmations are sent via SMS.
  • Phone calls: Occasionally, we may call you directly to confirm the appointment.
  • Voicemail: If you missed a call, there might be a voicemail from us.

Step 2: Verify Email Address and Phone Number

Make sure you provided the correct email address and phone number when you booked your service. An incorrect detail might be why you haven't seen the confirmation.

  • Email: Verify the email address you provided.
  • Phone number: Check the phone number for any errors.

Step 3: Search Your Emails

Sometimes, your email service might categorize emails in different folders.

  • Search terms: Try using search terms like “chimney appointment,” “fireplace repair,” or “service confirmation.”
