Appointment Policy and Other Information

Wammoth Services will provide an arrival window prior to the scheduled appointment as a courtesy. The arrival window is usually provided on the appointment reminder which is emailed the day before the scheduled service.  Customer understands that this is an estimated period and may be updated prior to appointment. Customer is expected to be available during the arrival window at the service location or make appropriate arrangements to allow the technician entry to the service location. Technician will call the customer prior to arrival (5-15 minutes prior to arriving).  If the Technician is not able to gain entry to the service location where the gas appliance is located upon arrival to the service address, we provide a 5-minute courtesy wait time.  If the technician does not have access to the service area, customer is not available, does not answer the door or phone or does not return the technician’s call or text during this 5-minute courtesy wait time, the technician will leave, and the appointment will be considered a “no-show”.  If the customer is running late and requests the technician to wait at the service location, there will be a fee of $20 for the technician to wait up to 30 minutes.

If the technician is running early, prior to the start of the arrival window, the technician will contact the customer to see if customer is available for an early arrival.  If the customer is not available earlier, the technician may move to another customer which may affect the original arrival window of the appointment.  In some cases, the technician may be running late or beyond the end of the arrival window.  Wammoth Services will contact customers in the event of a delayed arrival.

Wammoth Services does not guarantee that our Gas Fireplace Full Service will resolve all or any of the issue(s) pertaining to the gas fireplace.  Further, Wammoth Services does not guarantee that repairs and/or replacement parts will resolve the issue(s).  In some cases, additional repair and/or replacement parts may be required once other repairs are made or the unit may need to be replaced.

In the event the scheduled service or repair was not completed at the time of appointment for any reason, a minimum trip charge would apply if the technician arrived for the appointment and provided an assessment or discussed with customer any information related to the gas fireplace.

7-day workmanship warranty – we provide this warranty on our gas fireplace full service only.  Warranty is not available on Basic Inspection, Diagnostic or In-Home Estimate Appointments.  Customer is responsible for contacting Wammoth Services within seven calendar days of full-service appointment regarding any issues, concerns, or operational difficulties.  Wammoth Services will review and schedule a follow up service appointment at no charge to the customer. If it is determined that the issue is not regarding the workmanship of the service (for example, operator error, additional part failure), a charge for the follow up service will be applied. Pilot light must remain lit for the warranty to apply.  Wammoth Services is not responsible for conditions prior to the service, out of date, neglected or deteriorated parts. This warranty is non-transferable.

Wammoth Services offer select options to our customers for various appointment conveniences.  These options are not required to schedule an appointment.  These options must be selected by the customer at the time of requesting service.  Some options require additional expenses on our part such as scheduling, logistics, fuel, travel time.  Deposit may be required for the appointment with these options selected.  The deposit will not be refunded in cases where the customer cancels, reschedules or is a no-show.  Refunds for deposits on these special options will be determined by Wammoth Services on a case-by-case basis.  Inclement weather, unusual travel/traffic, issues involving our technician safety may hinder specific appointments and would not constitute a reason for a full refund.
