    water heater

    I was about to pay my bill for $123 which they charge every three months when I decided to call them and ask what it would cost me to buy my aging water heater. I was told $281 plus tax. When I said I wanted to buy it and pay everything off including my outstanding bill the lady I was speaking to let it slip that the $123 I owed was for the upcoming three months. In other words, for services not yet rendered. She then transferred me to billing. When I told the guy at billing I wanted to buy out my water heater he said, 'No, problem, it is $281 plus tax added to your outstanding balance of $123.' I then told him that the lady who transferred me told me that the $123 was for services not yet rendered. He went to speak to his supervisor. When he came back he tried again to add the two sums together. I protested, reminding him the bill for $123 was forward payment, but whatever days I had already used could be pro-rated. He went back to his supervisor again. He came back with a pro-rated sum saving me about $80. I was assured that the total amount I was paying them, which was about $365, would be the final payment. That was on Wed, August 16, 2023. Three days later I got another bill from Reliance, this time for $13.50. I guess I will call them on Monday to find out why. I'm wondering if the lady who reminded me that my outstanding balance was paid at the beginning of each three month period, not the end, got a stern reminder that's not how we do business here. You don't let the cat out of the bag. And did the guy I first spoke to at billing know it didn't make sense to add the $123 to the buyout? It would be hard to believe he didn't. Reliance is currently controlled by the family of a Hong Kong-based Chinese-Canadian businessman through two of their holding companies. Do they know this is happening? By the way, if you have an older water heater, it is probably best to Buy it out.

    Hot water tank

    The service tech was very polite and very honest. I wish that reliance would provide hot water tanks that we could own. I think that reliance is lucky to have a tech so professional.

    Deceptive Practices and Terrible Customer Service

    I want to share my frustrating experience with Reliance Home Comfort after purchasing a townhouse in Toronto. I was required to take up the water heater, air conditioner, and air handler rental as part of purchasing my property. However, they went ahead and added electrical and plumbing protection plans to my bill without my consent. When I saw the extra charges on my first bill, I called to cancel those plans and get rid of the charges. Instead of helping, they offered me a so-called "free trial" for a month. They also suggested I book a home inspection and an electrical inspection to prove the usefulness of their plans. So, I took their advice and had the inspection done. The electrician verified all the plug points and said everything was okay. He even told me new houses like mine couldn't have any issues. It was obvious they were trying to justify their unnecessary plans. But things got worse when I decided to cancel those plans due to their terrible service. Instead of agreeing, they told me I had to pay the first few months' charges that they initially said were waived off. Their excuse? They claimed my agreement for an inspection meant I agreed to the charges. What really gets me is how they tricked me into getting services I never even wanted, just so they could squeeze an extra $100 out of me on top of the already crazy $200 monthly equipment rental fees. It's unbelievable that a company would stoop so low to make money off their customers. To make matters worse, their customer service was beyond rude. They were disrespectful on the phone and I have been threatened with multiple emails to send debt collectors after me and my credit score would take a hit if I dont pay up these bogus charges. I'm absolutely disgusted by how Reliance Home Comfort treated me. They roped me into something I didn't need or want, and it's clear they care more about money than keeping customers happy. If you're thinking about using their services, think twice. This company's tactics and attitude are just plain wrong.

    Replace tankless water heater
