What should I do if a scheduled installation technician does not show up?
Answer
Contact the company that scheduled the install using the number on your confirmation email, account portal, or original order—not a number from an unexpected text. Ask them to confirm the missed window and book a new appointment.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Do not share payment information with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly about a missed appointment.
Follow these steps
Gather the appointment details
Collect the company name, confirmation number, service address, and the exact date and arrival window.
You should see: You can identify the missed job in one call or chat.
Contact official scheduling support
Sign in to the provider’s account site or call the support number printed on the confirmation. Explain that the technician did not arrive and you need to reschedule.
You should see: An agent confirms the missed appointment and offers a new window.
Ask for the new confirmation in writing
Request an email or portal update with the new date, window, and confirmation number. Ask whether any parts are still on backorder.
You should see: You have a written reschedule confirmation.
Prepare for the next visit
Clear access to the install area and keep your phone available during the new window. If the second visit is missed, escalate using the same account’s complaint or dispatch path.
You should see: You are ready for the next scheduled visit with documentation.

Extra tips
What to look for: The installer company name, confirmation number, appointment window, and any SMS or email that lists the official support number.
Before you change anything: Find the confirmation email or order page before calling. Use only official contact methods from that company. Do not give payment card details to someone who calls you first about the missed visit. Write down the date and time window that was missed.
