Humidifier & Dehumidifier Contract Help for Kitchener Homeowners
If you signed an unfair humidifier or dehumidifier contract at your Kitchener home, the 2018 amendments to Ontario's Consumer Protection Act may apply.
Humidifier & Dehumidifier Contracts in Kitchener
Kitchener humidifier and dehumidifier contracts are typically bundled into larger HVAC sales.
What This Equipment Is Actually Worth
True installed value of a residential whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier: roughly $400 to $1,200. Door-to-door contracts routinely add $3,000 to $7,000 in cumulative obligations to the larger HVAC agreement.
Humidifier/dehumidifier add-ons typically share the term length of the larger HVAC agreement they are bundled with — often 10 to 15 years.

The 2018 Amendments Most Often Triggered
Unconscionable Pricing
Humidifier and dehumidifier add-ons are common examples of pricing grossly disproportionate to equipment value.
Unsolicited Contact
Door-to-door bundled sales fall within the restrictions added by the 2018 amendments.
Unfulfilled Maintenance
Filter or pad replacement and maintenance commitments not delivered are an independent ground.
Where to Start
- Locate the original agreement, including the cancellation period notice and any rebate paperwork.
