Finding the best humidifier installers in Winnipeg
In selecting the best humidifier installers, we’ve assessed the following companies based on these criteria:
1. Weather Tech
| CRITERIA | RATING |
| HUMIDIFIER QUALITY | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| High-quality | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Investment-worthy | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| ARRAY OF SERVICES | ★★★★★ 5/5 |

Weather Tech Heating and Cooling is a well-known Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) contractor in Winnipeg. On top of specialising in cooling and heating structures, it also installs and repairs humidifiers.
We checked its inventory and found that the company mostly works on whole-house humidifiers.
We like that Weather Tech offers units by Lennox and Aprilaire, brands that are trusted by residential and commercial establishments.
A slight downside, though, is that clients may only choose between two humidifier models – one being a whole-home humidifying system and the other primarily using steam.
While these models are great for keeping indoor air moist, they might not be compatible with some HVAC systems.
That said, we recommend contacting Weather Tech’s technicians first to assess whether their humidifier options are suitable for your AC and heater.
We also appreciate the company for offering financing options to clients looking for budget-friendly methods to have humidifiers installed. It also offers interest-free financing for up to 12 months, making monthly rates more manageable to pay.
We’re just a bit iffy that the minimum loan for financing is $1,500, which can be a little steep. Affordable humidifier models cost anywhere from only $170 up to $400, with installation fees priced up to $800.
Still, we think that the financing plan is an opportunity for customers to get high-end humidifiers installed without having to pay a huge amount in one go.
Pros
- Features reputable brands
- Offers financing options
- Also does humidifier repairs
Cons
- Limited humidifier options
- Financing requires a minimum loan of $1,500
Customer Reviews
Installation, device, and cleanup were all in order
“Josh, Dion, and Jesse did a fantastic and professional job of the install. They left the house extremely tidy and took care to replace anything additional that needed to. The system has been functioning well and they were very polite and respected the interior of the house putting down floor protection too. Thank you for the great work!” – Neil Patel
A must-hire for any HVAC work
“Great service call yesterday by Kevin from Weather Tech. Kevin arrived on time with the correct parts and completed the replacement of a warranty fan motor in a reasonable time. The Lennox unit is now working quietly and efficiently. Kevin was friendly and professional during the service call and did a great job cleaning up after the work was completed. I will not hesitate to hire Weather Tech in the future for any HVAC work. Thanks.” – Robert Kowalchuk
2. Furnasman Heating and Air Conditioning

| High-quality | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Investment-worthy | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| ARRAY OF SERVICES | ★★★★★ 5/5 |

Furnasman is another trusted HVAC contractor that works on whole-house types that promote better air quality for homes.
What we love about Furnasman is its wide array of discount codes for HVAC installation and maintenance services.
It’s also worth noting that Furnasman also provides Protection Plan programmes that cover free clean-ups, discounted installation and diagnostic services, and free repairs of up to $1,000 a year.
While it seems that you can’t ask for a quote via their website, we talked to other customers and found that you can phone in to request this.
We’re also pleased that employees Dave and Niki took the extra mile in asking clients the services they need and patiently answering questions, as well as fitting all that in their service calls.
A downside to some of Furnasman staff is the apparent inconsistency in punctuality and responsiveness. From what we were told, some of the staff either arrived later than scheduled or took too long to respond to messages and calls.
On the bright side, we loved that the company for reaching out to unhappy clients and asking how its staff can make up for their tardiness and unavailability.
Another drawback we found is that financing options are currently limited to AC and furnace installations and replacements.
While humidifier installations cost less than a thousand dollars, we think that financing may help some get humidifiers for more manageable rates and without spending the whole price in one go.
Pros
- Offers discount codes and promos
- Has Protection Plan programmes
- Positive reports on staff fitting in clients’ requests in service calls
Cons
- Instances of tardiness and unresponsiveness
- Financing option only covers AC and furnace units
Customer Reviews
Appreciate the staff for their patience and competence
“David from furnasman was very professional, helpful and polite. I was scheduled for a furnace inspection and mentioned I was having a hard time installing a smart thermostat and he asked if I’d like that done as well and fit it into the service call. He took the time to explain how to use the new thermostat. A+++!” – Power Peach
Thankful for the work they’ve done on my AC
“Nikki was really great when she came over and inspected our heating and air-conditioning system. She checked out both systems and made sure that they are running properly. She also explained her findings and was patient with us when we asked a lot of questions.” – Janine Rose
3. Reliable Heating & Air Conditioning, LTD.
| CRITERIA | RATING |
| HUMIDIFIER QUALITY | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| High-quality | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Investment-worthy | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| ARRAY OF SERVICES | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| INSTALLER/CONTRACTOR | ★★★★☆ 4.5/5 |

We find Reliable Heating & Air Conditioning reliable when it comes to installing and repairing humidifiers.
Upon checking, it is a trusted dealer of Daikin Comfort Pro products which we think are excellent HVAC devices for residential and commercial establishments.
We’re also pleased that the company offers models that come with features that also help cleanse indoor air.
These are ideal for reducing the risk of viruses and moulds that cause illnesses and discomfort in your household.
What we liked about this company is that it offers free-of-charge requests for quotes and estimations. For us, this allows those who are interested in getting humidifier services to see how much they’ll need to set aside.
We were just slightly bummed that the company doesn’t have a list of other humidifier brands it offers besides Daikin on its website – although we found that it supplies HVAC systems and components from other brands like Venmar.
Fortunately, you can phone in and ask for the company’s extensive list of other humidifier brands it offers and accommodates for maintenance.
On a brighter note, we love this company for providing its services to residents of Winnipeg and surrounding areas, such as Lockport, Stonewall, and Headingley.
Emergency services are also available 24/7–despite the main office only being open during weekdays–which we think is great for having humidifiers fixed when they’ve broken down.
However, we’re a tad disappointed to hear that the company has mixed up client phone numbers and schedules for emergency maintenance services
Some clients reported having repair personnel arrive at their homes that are different from the ones assigned to them, and had to call to check whether there were changes made without their permission.
We’re also irked that staff aren’t that responsive when it comes to calls, which makes us think twice about the reliability of this company.
On the bright side, the company acknowledged its mistake and apologised for the mix-up and lack of response.
Pros
- Trusted Daikin dealer in Winnipeg
- Offers free-of-charge quote/estimate requests
- 24/7 emergency services
Cons
- Reports on needing to improve scheduling
- Instances of staff not being responsive
Customer Reviews
Does fantastic work for houses of any size
“”Ernie and Ernie” were fantastic. They were professional and friendly and the work they did was excellent. They stayed to check the system and give us instructions. We are now enjoying the cool air! Thank you for doing beautiful work: a complicated job on our older two-storey house. We highly recommend as they are reliable!” – Stewart Shinnan
Love them for helping us improve our indoor air quality
“I got UV Air purifier installed, as well as HRV Venmar CR12 the most recent model of its generation. The company sent its rep as soon as he could. I love their kindness, straightforwardness, and accuracy. As for their team, they took a busy installation day. They were keen and clean in their work which was very comforting. They gave us all the catalogues of the control, HRV and UV air purifier. They left us with cleaner air to breathe and an economy on heat in winter specifically. Also, MB Hydro was introduced as a finance option with only 4.5% in five yrs on our Hydro monthly bill which was great. So, thank you Terry and Kyle installation team. We hope as a family to have more business with you in the future.” – Ashraf Hanna
4. Winnipeg Supply Service Experts
| CRITERIA | RATING |
| HUMIDIFIER QUALITY | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| High-quality | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Investment-worthy | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| ARRAY OF SERVICES | ★★★★☆ 4/5 |
| INSTALLER/CONTRACTOR | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Competent | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Punctual | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| CUSTOMER SATISFACTION | ★★★★☆ 4/5 |
What sets Winnipeg Supply Service Experts apart from others is that it’s partnered with trusted HVAC brands, such as Carrier and Honeywell.
From what we’ve found, these brands are also quite affordable as you can get humidifiers for around $260.
In case you’re interested in knowing which humidifiers work best for your home and HVAC setup, we recommend booking an online consultation.
These are free of charge and you’ll get expert advice from certified and experienced HVAC technicians.
One highlight of the company is that it offers exclusive membership programmes. What we love about these is that they offer perks such as discounts on repairs, priority installation, safety inspections, energy saving, and preventive maintenance.
Do note, however, that some of the perks like energy savings and repair discounts are subject to the validity of product warranties.
While a slight downside to the plan is that you’ll still need to pay full price even after your warranty has expired, we still think that it’s worth paying for as most product warranties last for years.
Financing plans by EasyPay are also available for clients to save money on installation services.
We’re just a tad bummed that these currently only cover installation and repairs for heaters and AC units, which we think is quite limiting.
Pros
- Carries affordable humidifier brands
- Offers free consultation
- Programme members get more perks
Cons
- Plans still remain full price even after warranties have expired
- Financing option is currently limited to heaters and AC units
Customer Reviews
Workers were efficient and knowledgeable
“We were so impressed with Trevor and Matt. They worked the entire day to replace furnace, HWT, and coil for AC. Both were professional, efficient, and very knowledgeable. These two worked through lunch and left the basement cleaner than they found it. We look forward to having you back in the spring for AC installation!” – Michaela Nein
Pleased with the workers who came to my home
“Trevor and Matt were both terrific! They installed two air conditioners at our house today, July 14, 2020. I was very pleased with their work, their professionalism, and their knowledge. I’m happy to recommend Winnipeg supply and especially this team to friends and family. Perry, the sales rep, came to our house about two months ago and he was also excellent. I’ve been a customer of Winnipeg Supply since 1991 and I’ve always been very impressed with their annual service contracts and products. Donna, one of their senior work schedulers and dispatchers also deserves to be mentioned for her years of first-rate customer service.” – John King
5. Aireserv Heating & Air Conditioning

| High-quality | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| Investment-worthy | ★★★★★ 5/5 |
| ARRAY OF SERVICES | ★★★★★ 5/5 |

Aireserv Winnipeg installs and repairs several brands of coolers, heaters, and humidifiers. Some of its noteworthy bands include Aprilaire, Daikin, and Lennox.
The company’s wide selection of brands also enables customers to look into other HVAC devices that will work with their humidifiers, such as AC units or dehumidifiers.
Here, customers also enjoy the flexibility to pay for their humidifiers and related services via credit cards, cash, or financing plans, which we like.
We also appreciate that it offers advantage plans to exclusive members. Upon checking, the company’s advantage plan includes installation, repairs, service discounts, up to two tune-ups a year, and validating of product warranties.
Perhaps a downside to the advantage plan is that its guarantees have their limitations in terms of the devices they can be applied to.
For example, humidifiers aren’t covered by the component replacement guarantee. We think this inconvenience is annoying, especially if you’ll need to replace a faulty part in your humidifier that is still under its warranty.
Another disadvantage we found is that diagnostic fees can be a little pricey. You’ll need to pay $79 up to $189, depending on where you live, to get technicians to come to your place and inspect your humidifier.
That said, we’re pleased that Airserv offers to waive the fees if you hire them to do repairs and other maintenance services.
Pros
- Installs and repairs various brands
- Accepts more than one payment method
- Offers advantage plans
Cons
- Some plan guarantees have limitations
- Diagnostic fees can be pricey
