Home Comfort, Covered from Top to Bottom

Written by the company

From the systems that keep your home warm and cool to the ones you rarely think about until something goes wrong, Reliance® supports many of the essential systems homeowners rely on every day.
That includes heating and cooling systems such as furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and air conditioners, helping manage comfort through every season. It also includes indoor air quality solutions like air purification and ventilation, which can help support improved indoor air and better circulation inside the home. Moving lower, Reliance supports water systems, including water heaters as well as water purification and filtration. These systems play a big role in everyday comfort, from hot showers to the quality of the water used throughout the home. In the basement and beyond, services also extend to plumbing systems, electrical systems, electric vehicle chargers, and whole home generators. These systems help power daily life and provide backup support when it matters most. For homeowners, having many of these services under one roof can make it easier to get answers, schedule service, and understand how different systems in the home work together. Whether it is routine maintenance, a repair, or planning an upgrade, Reliance helps cover home comfort from top to bottom, supported by consistent service standards and 24/7/365 phone support.

Guarantees That Actually Mean Something

We've got you covered

Every installation purchase is backed by a 12‑month, 100% money‑back guarantee — if the system doesn’t perform as promised, we remove it and refund your full investment. If your home doesn’t reach the thermostat temperature we committed to, we’ll replace the entire system at no charge. If any purchased equipment fails in the first year, we fix it free and even pay you $500 for the inconvenience. And if a critical part fails twice within five years, we install a brand‑new unit — no questions asked. Renting? You don’t need to worry about any of that. Our team treats your home with care and respect on every visit, using shoe covers, drop cloths, and protective materials to safeguard your space. Although accidents can happen, we will do our best to support you and find a fair solution if something goes wrong.

Prepare for complete disappointment

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.

Stay far away

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.

Dishonest business practices

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,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

The experience you've described does not reflect how our account transfer process is intended to work. When ownership of a property changes, the rental agreement associated with the equipment transfers to the new homeowner, and an account is created to maintain service continuity. Associated account administration fees may apply when an account is opened and subsequently closed following equipment removal.

That said, we recognize that these charges can be confusing, particularly during the home buying process, and we take concerns like yours seriously. Our commitment is to clear, documented agreements and transparency regarding all fees and charges.

We would welcome the opportunity to review your file in detail, walk through the charges on your account, and address any discrepancies directly. Please contact our Customer Success team at 1-855-625-4090, and a representative will be happy to provide a clear and accurate explanation based on your specific account history.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Badest experience

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.
