About Us

My dad, Dave, brought his family to Phoenix from Iowa in 1982. He quickly discovered the demand for air conditioning in a rapidly growing city like Phoenix was never going to end!

My dad started Reliance in 1984 with the understanding that people want to feel valued and want an honest company with fair prices. Dad always treated his customers the way he would want to be treated! He instilled in me those same values. From the age of 10, I was my dad’s “right hand man”. If I didn’t have school the next day, it was not uncommon for me to be in an attic or on a roof late in the evening helping change a compressor or a fan motor. Many of the customers we have today are the same people that started with us in 1984.

In 2002 my dad passed the torch to my wife and me. Even though he has been retired for quite some time, customers still ask how he is doing! He is now in his mid 70s, but still helps me out whenever I need advice or have a tough job.

Our motto has become “exceptional service from our family to yours”. We thank all of you who have trusted us with your family's comfort for the past 37 years and we welcome anyone looking for a trusted AC company to give us a try!
