Reliance Water Heater Reviews - Capacity at Peak Demand
Reliance produces several different types of water heaters in various capacities. When purchasing a new water heater always keep in mind the demand at peak hours.
If your old water heater doesn’t keep up with demand and you are always waiting for hot water then you may want your plumber or HVAC professional to do a sizing calculation to increase the capacity of the current/old water heater so you will not have to worry about running out of hot water at peak usage.
The calculation can easily be done by the plumbing or HVAC professional based on various factors such as the number of people in the household and sometimes even the age of the people in the household. Typically teenagers use a lot of hot water. However, there are other factors involved in the calculation of capacity at peak demand.

Reliance Water Heater Reviews
i have been renting a water heater from reliance for 14 years. i have no hot water most of the time. Not enough to take a bath. when i complaine they said i would have to pay 500.00 to have a part installed. Nowhere on my contract does it say that i must pay for repairs, i am now looking to rent elsewhere.my rental biill each month is 40.00 .
Ive heard both good and bad about Reliance water heaters. Do you recommend any certain brand for tankless water heaters? I was looking to get one installed in my home.

We have rented a hot water heater from Reliance since we moved into our New home built in 2005. It has been replaced 2 times, it has gone down 3 times this year alone. We just called them to tell them that once again in the last 2 months we have no hot water.
This is Saturdau and we have to wait until MODAY to take a shower. It is poor service and the product is less than acceptable. I am so frustrated with this company and their hot water tank!!!!!!! Since when do customers have to wait two full days to get hot water. It is 2009 after all. Not Acceptable!!!!

We should have bought a different brand. We have installed 2 Reliance water heaters in the last 4 years. Our current one was just repaired today. It was only a year old. With the cost of installing and repairing Reliance water heaters we would have been better off buying something else. Do not buy this product. It is very low quality and continually having problems. Next time we will buy a Bradford White that has been recommended by our plumber.

We had a new Reliance electric 40 gal. hot water heater installed in our home. The first one worked about a month then quit for no obvious reason. Place we bought it from provided new thermostats, there are 2 on this model, had them installed still no hotwater. Replaced it with another and it also worked for about 5 weeks then quit. pushed reset button, it eventually came back but the top thermostat leaked!! Water all over floor and in basement what a big mess. I would Not recommend this poorly made product to anyone. Do Not purchase hotwater heater from Reliance, I would call them “Un-reliance” of hotwater heaters.
