The shelf price is not what a large appliance costs to own. Reliance Digital publishes its installation charges, delivery rules and extended-warranty terms on its own pages, and we read all three on 26 October 2026.
AC installation is priced by brand. The same standard split-AC installation is Rs. 1,415 on most brands, Rs. 1,593 on a HISENSE and Rs. 1,770 on a Samsung or TCL - and none of those figures appears next to the AC when you are choosing it.
/page/ac-installation-by-reliance-resq (read with a rendered browser, because its brand-and-price tables are client-side), /page/same-day-free-delivery-tc and /page/boot-up-extended-2-years-warranty-tc-2606 - on 26 October 2026, logged out, from India. Nothing was purchased, no installation was booked and no warranty was registered, so no service behaviour has been tested.The price on the shelf is not the price of owning a large appliance. Reliance Digital publishes what it charges afterwards - installation, delivery and extended cover - across three of its own pages, and we read all three on 26 October 2026.
AC installation is priced by brand, and the spread is 3.3x. The same split-AC installation is Rs. 1,415, Rs. 1,593 or Rs. 1,770 depending only on whose logo is on the box.
| AC type | Brands | Installation charge |
|---|---|---|
| Window AC | Kelvinator, BPL | Rs. 531 |
| Window AC | LG, Godrej, Hitachi, Carrier, OGENERAL, Onida, Haier, Whirlpool, Panasonic, Sansui, General, Acer, Forbes, IFB, Voltas, LLOYD, Blue Star, Daikin, CANDY, Reconnect, Midea, LYF, AZE, GANGNAM, Perrel, HISENSE, Samsung, TCL | Rs. 590 |
| Split AC | LG, Godrej, Hitachi, Carrier, OGENERAL, Onida, Haier, Whirlpool, Panasonic, Kelvinator, Sansui, BPL, General, Acer, Forbes, IFB, Voltas, LLOYD, Blue Star, Daikin, CANDY, Reconnect, Midea, LYF, AZE, GANGNAM, Perrel | Rs. 1,415 |
| Split AC | HISENSE | Rs. 1,593 |
| Split AC | Samsung, TCL | Rs. 1,770 |
The installation charge buys a specific set of activities, which the page publishes as a table with approximate timings per task and a warning: "Activities not covered in the table below will be chargeable as they are considered as NON-STANDARD installation."
Three further lines on the same page are worth knowing before an engineer arrives. "If there is any extra item required during the installation, it will be charged as per the list below" - copper piping, stands, stabilisers and similar are extras, and the page says Reliance uses "only genuine parts which are brand authorized". "Holes through beams & columns of the room to be avoided", because they support the structure. And "core cutting along with permissions, if required, has to be managed by customer" - if your wall needs drilling through concrete and your society needs to approve it, that is your job, not the engineer's.
| The rule | What the terms say | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| What it covers | "Free Delivery TODAY & Pick at store is applicable on Select articles across Mobiles, Laptops, Audio, Small appliances, Personal Care, Smart Watches & Accessories" | Large appliances are not on that list |
| Where it works | "applicable on Select Pin codes, subject to product availability at Stores. Enter Pin code on Product page to check eligibility" | Eligibility is shown only after you enter a PIN code on the product page |
| The cut-off | the order must be "placed before 2 PM. If order is placed after 2 PM" the stated same-day terms do not apply | An afternoon order is a next-day order |
| Pick at Store deadline | "If the Order is not Picked up within 48 hrs from the time order was placed, such Orders would be Auto Cancelled" | Two days to collect, or the order cancels itself |
| How to find it | "Free Delivery TODAY, if applicable, is shown on the Product Display Page after entering the Pin Code"; Pick at Store is chosen on the Order Summary page | Neither is automatic - both are selected during checkout |
| Can it change? | Reliance Digital reserves "the right to modify or change any of the terms and conditions applicable to this program at any time with or without any prior notice" | The terms in your cart on the day are the ones that bind |
Two details do most of the work here. The 2 PM cut-off means the "Free Delivery TODAY" badge you saw at lunchtime is not the offer you get at 3 pm. And the 48-hour auto-cancel on Pick at Store is the one that can cost you: an order reserved at a store and not collected within two days cancels itself, with no action required from anyone.
Note also what the programme covers - mobiles, laptops, audio, small appliances, personal care, smart watches and accessories. A fridge, a washing machine or an AC is not in that list, which is consistent with those needing a delivery slot and an installation visit rather than a courier.
Reliance Digital runs a "Boot Up" offer giving two extra years of warranty on select Windows laptops. It is a genuine extension and it is free, and the conditions are specific enough to list in full.
| Question | What the offer terms say |
|---|---|
| What you get | "an additional 2 years of extended warranty over and above the standard brand warranty" on select Windows laptops |
| When it starts | "The 2-year extended warranty will become applicable once the brand warranty ends" - it does not add cover during year one |
| Which laptops | "applicable on selected products only, check product page for offer" - the page names no model list |
| How it is set up | the team "will configure the extended warranty from the back-end" and the customer "will receive a message confirmation"; the customer must then download the resQ app and upload the required details the following month |
| Where the terms live | "Terms & Conditions will be available within the resQ app" - not on the offer page |
| What it cannot be combined with | "cannot be clubbed with any other OEM offer or ongoing extended warranty promotion. In case of an existing OEM offer, this offer would not be applicable" |
| If something goes wrong | queries and escalations go "through the resQ app", with a toll-free line (1800 889 1044) and customersupport@resq.in published on the page |
| Who cannot claim it | employees of Reliance Retail and the resQ / service partner and their family members, plus employees of affiliates, suppliers, distributors and agencies |
On a split AC: Rs. 1,415 to Rs. 1,770 for standard installation, plus any non-standard work and extra materials, plus a separate resQ Care Plan if you want cover beyond the brand warranty - we read those terms separately and the page is linked below. On a window AC: Rs. 531 or Rs. 590.
On a laptop, the two free years are worth having but start only in year three and need the app step. On anything small, check the PIN code on the product page before 2 pm if the delivery date matters, and collect a store pickup within 48 hours. Every figure on this page came from Reliance Digital's own pages on 26 October 2026 and all of them are subject to change "at the sole discretion of Reliance resQ".
