Humidifier & Dehumidifier Contract Help for Windsor Homeowners

If you signed an unfair humidifier or dehumidifier contract at your Windsor home, the 2018 amendments to Ontario's Consumer Protection Act may apply.

Humidifier & Dehumidifier Contracts in Windsor

Windsor humidifier and dehumidifier contracts are typically bundled into larger HVAC agreements.

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.

Unconscionable Pricing

Humidifier and dehumidifier add-ons are common examples of pricing grossly disproportionate to equipment value.

2

Unsolicited Contact

Door-to-door bundled sales fall within the restrictions added by the 2018 amendments.

4

Unfulfilled Maintenance

Filter or pad replacement and maintenance commitments not delivered are an independent ground.

Where to Start

  1. Locate the original agreement, including the cancellation period notice and any rebate paperwork.
  2. Pull a parcel register on your Windsor property to identify any registration on title.
  3. Photograph the data plates on your humidifier & dehumidifier so the equipment can be valued accurately.
  4. Stop responding directly to the installer or finance company once you have agent representation.
  5. Book a free, confidential review.
