June 20, 2016 - the hottest day of the summer thus far and our air conditioner was not working properly. My husband called Reliance and was able to book a service repair person immediately. The person from Reliance said that we should be expecting someone before 2pm. At 1:56pm I received a call and "Wally" said he would be at my house in 10 minutes. Wally knocked on the door at 2:15pm and I said that I was glad he was able to make it today as we originally had an appointment on July 6th. Wally took a look at our thermostat and then proceeded to check on the furnace. Then he said he needed a few items in his truck. After coming back from his truck, he said that he wouldn't be able to do the work unless it was COD because we were not covered as of yet. I told him that we had spoken with two customer service reps and they both said our plan was active for June 17th. He then went back to his truck to call again. Once again, he said that we were not covered. He mentioned that my husband and I dealt with "handlers" who create chaos and do not know what they are talking about whereas he deals with his "people" on a daily basis. I then called my husband on the phone and had him on speaker so that Wally could tell him what he told me. The first thing Wally says to my husband is that he recommends a salesperson to speak to us about a new furnace. So we agreed for a salesperson to come for the next day. At that time, he did not even look at our air conditioner. I asked him to take a look at our air unit and he said it was installed "crummy!" After Wally left my house, I called Reliance and spoke with Jen a representative who deals with booking services. She was very understanding as I told her the situation. She reassured me that we were covered for repairs under our plan and then forwarded me to Matt in the Complaints department. Matt was very understanding and credited our account $10 for the inconvenience and was able to send another service repair person who arrived at about 6:30pm. David (team member #RCB 91) asked about the problem and immediately checked our air conditioner. He did a few tests and was able to answer the questions I had. I liked the fact that he was honest and treated me like I was his sister or daughter. He was able to check to see if my furnace was safe for the time being and educated me on the different types of products available out there. He spoke to me in a way that I can understand air conditioners and furnaces. I would definitely recommend David and commend him for being friendly. Wally, on the other hand, I would not recommend because he made me feel like I was unintelligent and I didn't feel that he wanted to help me. He mentioned that he would have to remove half my furnace before even checking my air unit. Also, he said the salesperson would be at our place by 12pm the next day, which is today. It is now 3:50pm and we haven't heard from the sales rep, Clark. Reliance, overall is a good company but with people like Wally working there, does not give it the best name. Thank you to David, Jen, and Matt for providing great customer service.
