Quick answer
Burnt offerings, fat of peace offerings, and drink offerings were given in abundance, and temple worship was set in order again. It matters because right worship was fully restored after years of neglect.
Overview
The abundance of sacrifices signals the people's renewed devotion and joy in returning to the Lord. With every element of the offerings in place, 'the service of Yahweh's house was set in order,' restoring the worship Ahaz had corrupted. Such ordered, abundant worship foreshadows the perfect and final offering of Christ, who sets right our access to God.
