    How to cancel Reliance in Calgary

    Call Reliance, request the buy-out and removal quote, then book a Smarter Service Calgary install for the same week. Your installer swaps in the new owned tank and disconnects the Reliance unit — Reliance picks it up from the curb. Calgary customers across Beltline, Bridgeland, Mahogany, Cranston, Tuscany, Evanston and Auburn Bay have done this with no service interruption.
