You can be covered from inclement weather such as wind, hail and lightning. Our coverage also extends to protect your valuables from theft.
Depending where you live in, some home insurance coverages might be required in a home insurance policy in BC. For instance, if you live in an area that has high winds, windstorm coverage might be mandatory in a home insurance policy.
If you’re curious about other potential coverages you can add to your home insurance policy that aren’t required, your Surex Personal Assistant will be able to explain the benefits of adding coverage, as well as let you know how it’ll impact your annual home insurance premiums.
Home insurance typically comes in three forms: (1) Comprehensive or All Perils, (2) Basic or Named Perils, and (3) Broad. Comprehensive is the most complete form of coverage available, protecting your home against all threats (excluding those which require additional coverage — such as high-value items and water damage — and those specifically left off your policy). Basic coverage protects your home and its contents against those threats that have been specifically added to your policy. Broad coverage is a combination of the previous two, protecting your property in a ‘comprehensive’ sense, and protecting your belongings in a ‘basic’ sense. Speak with a qualified Dedicated Insurance Assistant about what home insurance coverage type is right for your property.
