How does the annual rebooking engine work?+
Every completed chimney service enters a 12-month automated cycle. Customers receive seasonal content, preparation reminders, and rebooking offers timed to fill your calendar before peak season.

Yinez is configured with factual, educational language about chimney maintenance. She explains why annual inspection matters using data and CSIA guidelines rather than scare tactics.
