Last year in December our furnace started to act up and we needed help immediately. After going through all the ratings on Home Stars we decided to call Reliance. They sent us out a sales person the next day, Mike Oryschak. He was prompt to the minute he said that he would be here and made us feel very comfortable talking with him.
The first thing he did was to go down and check the furnace that we still had on. Mike immediately turned it off as it could have caused a major fire.
Being seniors we needed a little more explanations on some points but he was patient and answered all of our questions.
He went through all of the options that we had, just to do the furnace now and wait for the air conditioner to go, not replace the water heater, buy, rent etc.
In other words he gave explained all the options pointing out the pros and cons of each.
In the end we decided to have a complete replacement so that everything was new and we would have no problems in our lifetime.
He suggested that we rent for the first year and then consider a buy out when the year was up. Again we followed his advice.
The furnace was installed on the day it was promised. The first thing the installers did was to put a runner down the stairs leading to the basement and booties so that no dirt or water would be tracked into the house.
We were ever so pleased with the install and with the fact that one of the installers came back a couple of days later just to make sure everything was working as it should and to tidy up any wirers etc.
We also received a call in April to book an appointment for a service person to come out in May just to check that the air conditioner was working properly. That's service.
This week we decided that we were going to buy out the furnace and called Mike for his expertise. He once again came over and walked us through the process, telling us when to call; pointing out that the price that he had given us in December was the price that we would pay.
It was great to work with Mike and to work with Reliance, we are sold on they because of their service and integrity we will recommend both to anyone we know that needs a furnace or air conditioner replacement.
There is an old saying that "You only get what you pay for", other companies were cheaper and had horror stories to match.
RELIANCE/MIKE ALL THE WAY
