Home insurance in Ontario - FAQs
To receive an accurate home insurance quote in Ontario, you’ll need the following information:
- The square footage of your home
- The year the home was built
- Details about any upgrades or renovations
- Your full address
- Your personal home insurance claims history
Having this information ready helps ensure you get the most accurate quote possible.
Home insurance rates in Ontario are set by individual insurance providers but must be approved by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRAO).
Rates are based on several factors, including:
- Insurance data: Providers assess historical claims data in your area. If you live in a region with fewer past claims, your premium may be lower. In contrast, areas with frequent claims typically see higher rates.
- Home value: Insurers consider how much it would cost to rebuild your home in the event of a total loss. Larger or more customized homes typically cost more to insure.
- Your home insurance history: A clean record can help reduce your rate, while multiple past claims may increase it.
Because each insurer weighs these factors differently, comparing quotes is the best way to find competitive pricing.
One of the biggest reasons Ontarians switch insurance providers is price. At Surex, we partner with multiple home insurance companies across Ontario to give you a range of competitive quotes and help you access discounts that could lower your premium.
