House Insurance Protection You Can Depend On

 

Your home insurance safeguards you from financial loss. and It will provide you with a refund if your home or personal effects are stolen or if another unforeseen situation arises that is specified under your property policy. If you do have a fire, for instance, your home (and garage) or portions of it will likely need to be rebuilt. With a home insurance policy, you will be reimbursed for the value of items, such as furniture, clothes and computers, or the items will be replaced. Your policy will also pay for some of your extra living expenses should you not be able to live in your house while it is being restored. Alternate living arrangements, storage and meals are some of the things covered through your home insurance plan.

Your policy also provides personal liability coverage. If someone is injured while visiting your home, they could sue you for damages. If they win and are awarded a significant settlement, it could have a dramatic negative effect on your finances. Wages could be garnished and getting back on your feet could be difficult. House insurance also protects you against liability for damage to someone else’s property.

 

Home Insurance FAQs

 

Is Contents Insurance Mandatory in Canada?

While contents insurance is not mandatory in Canada, your rental agreement may require it. Contents insurance is relatively affordable, and a simple policy can offer peace of mind that your clothing, furniture, and other possessions can be quickly replaced in the event of theft, fire or another situation.

Does Home Insurance Cover Flooding?

Insurance for flooding and other water-related issues like sewer backup is an optional coverage you can choose to add to your home insurance policy. Not every home is eligible for this coverage, particularly if you live near a large body of water or if many of your neighbours have had flooding issues in the past. Speak with an Aon representative to learn if your home is eligible for this coverage.

How Can I Lower the Cost of My House Insurance?

Just as a variety of factors may cause your house insurance rates to rise, there are a few things you can do to lower them. Choosing a higher deductible, having a home security system or even having a fire extinguisher on hand can all help you to reduce your house insurance premiums. An Aon representative can help you to identify other ways to lower the cost of your house insurance.
