Home buying guide for Canada

Home products are bought for a specific room, so start with the room: its size in square feet, its flooring and how long you spend in it. Those three facts narrow most choices faster than features do.

Anything that plugs in and is sold in Canada should carry a certification mark from an accredited body, such as CSA, cUL or cETL. That matters most for space heaters and dehumidifiers, which run for hours at a time.
