What Our Customers Are Saying About Us:
Started my Journey with Reliance on December and the team from sales to install was informative, helpful professional and am so grateful to roll into the summer months with my new furnace and heat pump.
I needed a new furnace and AC and my experience with Reliance was very positive, starting with the great advice and options that Gary, our sales advisor, gave and to the installation by Kyle and Brandon, who were very professional and efficient. They arrived on time, explained the installation process, and cleaned up afterwards. They also explained how to operate our excellent new thermostat and how to claim available rebates. Great job, guys. Thank you!
The crew installed a new furnace, AC unit, and thermostat within the work day. Will walked us through how to use the google nest thermostat and was the utmost professional throughout. Looking forward to some cooler summer sleeps with the AC. Fantastic job by a great crew!

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioners
A SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating measures the cooling efficiency of an AC unit. Most have an SEER of between 13 and 21. A higher number means greater energy efficiency, which could reduce your utility bills.
Renting long-term or buying your air conditioning unit are both good options. It really comes down to what is best for you. Learn more about buying vs. renting your air conditioner here.
Regular service and maintenance will keep your air conditioner running smoothly and could prolong its life and help reduce the risk of unexpected repairs. To schedule your AC check-up, book online.
While the coast stays milder, inland areas like Surrey, Langley, and Delta experience much higher summer temperatures and more frequent heat events. A properly sized AC system is essential for maintaining a consistent, cool environment throughout larger, multi-story suburban homes.
In most detached homes in the suburbs, yes. If your home has a compatible forced-air furnace and existing ductwork, central air conditioning can often be integrated into your current setup. A professional assessment can confirm if your equipment is ready for an AC add-on.
It depends on your home’s construction. Central air conditioning is the standard for detached homes with ducts. However, for townhomes, laneway houses, or older homes without ductwork, a ductless mini-split system provides efficient, zone-controlled cooling without the need for major renovations.
Sizing isn’t just about square footage. In areas like the Fraser Valley, we look at ceiling height, window exposure (especially west-facing glass), and insulation levels. An undersized unit will run constantly, while an oversized unit won’t properly dehumidify. A professional heat gain calculation ensures the perfect fit.
A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner that can also provide high-efficiency heating in the winter. For many homeowners in the suburbs, switching to a heat pump can offer year-round comfort and may qualify for significant energy rebates, making it a smart long-term investment.
Yes. While we do not service high-rise condos, we specialize in cooling solutions for townhomes and newer residential developments. Depending on your strata bylaws and available outdoor space, we can install compact central units or slim ductless systems.
For a standard replacement in a detached home, installation usually takes one day. If we are installing a first-time system that requires new electrical or minor ductwork modifications, it may take slightly longer. We aim to have your home cool and comfortable within 24 to 48 hours of starting.
If your unit is over 10–15 years old, uses discontinued refrigerant, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective. Modern systems are significantly more energy-efficient, which can lead to lower monthly utility bills during Surrey’s peak summer months.
Should I Rent or Buy my AC?
Need a new furnace air conditioner or hot water heater but not sure whether to rent or buy?
Regardless of your equipment needs, it’s important to know what’s right for you. Here’s what you need
to know to get started. A rental unit is a great option for a lot of homeowners as it gives peace
of mind. The repairs are always covered. Lifetime repairs and maintenance are included with your
rental so you’ll never be surprised with an unexpected repair bill. As a rental customer,
you’ll also have 24/7, 365 live telephone support and direct access to technicians
that know your equipment and have all the parts on hand to service it fast so
you never have to worry about being without heating, cooling or hot water. With rental,
you’ll also get the convenience of one low monthly payment that is easy to budget for.
Even with our most efficient units, there are no upfront equipment costs and you can take advantage
of any available government rebates. Plus, when you rent your heating or cooling system,
your annual maintenance is fully covered. That even includes the maintenance of your humidifier
and upgraded filters for optimal airflow. Buying is another great option. Buying your equipment
allows you to take advantage of special promotions or competitive financing rates so you can still
find the right equipment that fits your budget. Plus when you purchase your equipment, you’ll
still have access to Reliance’s large network of professionally trained technicians. We also
include standard parts and labour warranties on all of our equipment so that you will be covered
in the event of a faulty part or breakdown. You’ll also have the ability to keep your heating and
cooling equipment running efficiently by adding a Protection Plan to your purchase that includes
annual maintenance and allows you to avoid most unexpected repair costs. At the end of the day,
the best option is whatever suits the needs of you and your family. If you’re renting,
your unexpected repairs and annual maintenance for your furnace and AC are covered. With buying,
you’ll own your equipment and you’ll always have the option to cover repair and maintenance
costs with a Protection Plan after your warranty period. Whichever you choose,
you can Call on Reliance™ and schedule a time with our trusted Home Comfort Advisors. Our
Advisors will take the time to assess your needs and help you make the right decision.
