Heater and dehumidifier hire in Canada: costs and tips

Updated 4 November 2026

A dehumidifier costs from about CA$36 to hire for four hours, CA$220 for a week and CA$660 for a month in Canada. Heater prices were not in our search results, so ask for them with your room size and power type. The fastest way to get current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Capacity and room size

Dehumidifiers are rated in litres per day, and one listing shows a unit at 22.5 gallons per day, so convert before you compare. A directory of heating and ventilation rental recommends a dehumidifier when relative humidity is above 65 per cent, and its daily rates depend on capacity. Measure the room in square metres and its height first, and give those figures to the seller.

Licences and rules

The search results do not name a licence for renting a heater or a dehumidifier. The licence they do name is for tradespeople who install heating: in Mississauga, a heating installer or contractor licence costs CA$255.21 for a new licence and CA$220.04 to renew. If a tradesperson installs or connects your heater, ask for the licence number and check the municipal fees before you hire.

Winter and the heating season

November starts the heating season, and December to February is the coldest period, when heaters are in the highest demand. Heating running costs depend on the number of days you need to heat, the fuel type and its price, according to a federal government guide. Damp rooms usually need a dehumidifier in the wetter months, so plan the hire for the time the room needs it.

What to put in the request

Say what you need (a heater or a dehumidifier), the power type (electric, gas or propane), the power or capacity, the area in square metres, how long you need it and how many units. Add your city, such as Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, and whether you need delivery. Ask about the deposit, because the hire may require collateral.

Describe the room, the power type and the rental period in a request on BlaBlaPrice. The AI reads it, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price and delivery terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. For related rentals, see the equipment hire section.
