The company rebranded from Union Energy to Reliance Home Comfort in 2005.
Born from a utility's water‑heater arm in 1999, the company has grown into a full‑service home‑comfort provider operating across Canada and parts of the U.S.
Backed by a HK-based holding, it handles rental, sale, installs, and maintenance of water heaters, furnaces, AC, plumbing, electrical, smart-home, EV chargers.
Typical projects range from next‑day furnace or water‑heater installs to all‑season protection plans covering HVAC, plumbing, and electrical maintenance.
Specialists in residential and commercial sectors, it also serves utility‑style needs via rental and protection‑plan models.
Unusually, it pioneered utility‑style rental contracts in Canada, locking customers into long‑term service agreements.
While praised for its 24/7 service and protection plans, it’s also known for aggressive sales tactics and high‑cost rental contracts.
