Before You Schedule Service, Try the Reset Button!

A customer recently contacted us because their Reliance water heater wasn't producing hot water. When our technician arrived, we found that the unit had not been reset yet.

Since replacement thermostats weren't available on the service vehicle, the first step was to reset the water heater and allow time to see if normal operation returned. The customer is now monitoring the unit, and if the issue persists, we'll return for further diagnosis and repairs.

Appliance Tip: Sometimes a tripped safety device or control can cause an appliance to stop working. Before scheduling service, it's worth checking your owner's manual to see if a simple reset procedure is recommended for your appliance.

Maintenance Tip: Regularly draining and flushing your water heater is one of the best things you can do to help extend its life and maintain efficiency. Over time, sediment can build up inside the tank, which can affect performance and potentially lead to premature component failure.

Of course, if the problem returns or the appliance still isn't working properly, it's time for a professional diagnosis.

Back on the Road Again 💪🔧We’re so happy to share that Cory is back to work!

After stepping away for a medical emergency, he’s been cleared to return (for now) until he heads back out for an upcoming surgery. It’s been great having him back doing what he does best.

We also want to send a big thank you to all of our customers who were patient and understanding during this time — it truly means a lot to our family and our business.

As things get moving again, we’re here to help with most major household appliances — including refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, washers, dryers, and more. If you’ve been holding off on scheduling service, now’s a great time to get on the calendar!
