If you want incredibly poor customer service, pick Reliance. If you want to be overcharged by $1000 due to being sold the wrong equipment, pick Reliance. If you want to have to fight for over 2 months to get your money, pick Reliance. If you want to be ignored by management, pick Reliance. If you want to feel hopefully and frustrated, pick Reliance. If you want a company where no one takes accountability or tries to be helpful, pick Reliance.
I have had the worst customer experience with this organization. My installation date was delayed by 2 weeks; I was over charged $1000 because I was sold equipment that was incorrect; The sale rep never called me back and was not proactive or customer focused at all. I never received a call back from management when issues were escalated; I never received any calls back from the organization at all related to the overpayment; I have had to follow-up with customer care 3 times to try to bring resolution to my final requests which remain unanswered. I was fair, polite and reasonable throughout the entire process and was met with frustration, immense dissatisfaction and a complete lack of willingness to help me sort out the error that they created themselves. I cannot in good conscience ever recommend this organization to another person. These are not hyperbolic claims – I have a paper trail to prove every statement that I have made and will be happy to share it with anyone who asks. Please take this review as a cautionary tale.
You have A LOT of options for HVAC support out there. Pick anyone BUT Reliance.

The representative was very helpful. I do have one concern. My new water heater is rather noisy. You can hear it onto the street. Can anything be done about this?

never sign a contract with reliance. they raise your bill consistently, will add services to your bill that you don't authorize and give you a hard time giving your money back. buy your own equipment. never rent or get any service from reliance. they are terrible. worst deals ever.

I believe I filled out a review indicating that we were fully satisfied with Jason’s check on our furnace and AC systems. Very satisfied.

Stay far away. Reliance use, dishonest business practices, service Call that was part of the contract service repair or replace at no cost to me ended up. Without my consent authorization placed me into a contract of 10 years. The technician stated that my hot water tank of seven years old was old, which the lifespan of a hotter tank is 15 years. My call was not for replacement of water heater, but rather an issue with the drain.
The next day my basement was flooded and found out that they had placed me in a 10 year contract.Placed me in a contract without authorization which is against the law and against consumer protection law.
The work order did not have the technicians name operator number or signature. An inspector came and stated that it was a red flag. And that my hot water tank should have not been replaced. A week later I get a welcome package for a 10 year locked in contract and advising me that it’s an automatic direct payment from my credit card which again I did not authorize. Again against the law I’ll be seeing them in court. . They are liars they’re manipulators. They bought the contracts from Simply Smart, and not respecting the contract and they think they can create a new contract at a thin air.

Our contact, Justin, was excellent. He told us everything we needed to know. Was very friendly and informative.
The installers were also excellent, knowledgeable and friendly.
Got the job done when predicted and explained everything.

I just want people to know how scummy of a business they are. Bought my first home recently which had a water heater rental from them. I called them immediately and told them I didn't want it and they removed it for a hefty fee, of course. I just looked at the invoice. The day I bought the home, without my consent, they "opened an account" and charged me $35 for an account set up fee. 2 days later, they charged me $40 for an account closure fee. These are the criminals we are dealing with,

Not happy with installers as thy scratched flooring when removing/ installing furnace . So far contacted sales person , he put me in contact with someone else and so on and on , 3 months down the row and nada! Damage to the floor over $2000 and they offer me $560.00 more less ! They are totally intealisti/irresponsible and really don’t care at all. Please do not use reliance for changing your furnace .Will not recommends to use Reliance to do any services or installations!!

Badest experience ever, if you don’t start your contract, don’t start it, so sneaky. Take care of the term of condition, you say yes over the phone it’s your contract. Sales representative says the installation is totally free but the guy who came @ home add a fees of installation to our file. A lot of sneaky people & ways. A lady called me, she offers me a lot of protections plans by the end of her bla bla bla she said if you don’t called me in 10 days I will apply automatically the protection in your file. I thought it’s a spam and call reliance , they confirmed that it’s one of they phone number & they apologized but imagine the headache & the time that I lost over the phone with reliance in only 4 weeks, can’t imagine how I will continue 10 years of contact. Badest experience ever in my life.

How on earth does all the other sites give a 1 to 2 and not this one. Worst company, not paying warranty. Stopped working less than a year out! Terrible service.

Our experience was very good as the call centre answered prompted, set up an appointment for a technician to attend and the technician was professional and prompt. Although our issue wasn't fixed at the time, the technician did what he could,

The tech refused to clean out the inside of the air conditioning of debris like leaves. He said it was not his responsibility. But the paperwork that was signed by my partner had verbiage to that end that he cleaned out the unit.
