About This Service
Do not use a test fire to investigate smoke
If the concern involves smoke entering the home, explain what happened without lighting another fire to reproduce it. Leave the system unused until the issue is assessed. A description of the event and accessible equipment information are more appropriate preparation for the appointment.
Retain the assessment with equipment records
Keep the agreed scope, findings provided and subsequent work documents with the appliance manual. A clear service history helps distinguish a recurring condition from a newly observed one. It also avoids relying on memory when the property is sold or maintained later.
Keep Chimney and Appliance Conclusions Distinct
A finding about accessible chimney material does not automatically confirm the condition of every appliance component. When a request involves both, the assessment should say which areas and equipment were included. That makes it clear whether another service is needed before the system returns to normal use.
Revisit Requirements When the Model Changes
A replacement fireplace chosen after an earlier assessment may have different installation requirements. Tell Twin about the change before assuming the previous scope still applies. The existing opening, connection and surrounding work need to be considered for the product now proposed, not only the one originally discussed.
