What Affects Your Home Insurance Premium?

Location Factors

Province and city: Premiums vary significantly by region — Alberta and Ontario tend to be higher
Proximity to fire hall: Being farther from a fire station increases premiums
Flood or wildfire zone: High-risk areas face significantly higher premiums or coverage restrictions
Neighbourhood claims history: High theft rates in your area can raise your premium

Home Characteristics

Replacement value: Not market value — what it would cost to rebuild your home from scratch
Age: Older homes often have outdated wiring, plumbing, and heating that increases risk
Roof type and age: Asphalt shingles have a limited lifespan; slate and metal last longer
Heating type: Oil tanks and wood stoves can increase premiums

Policyholder Factors

Claims history: Prior claims will raise your rates for several years
Credit score: In some provinces, insurers use credit-based insurance scores
Deductible: Higher deductible = lower premium
Bundling: Home + auto bundle discounts typically save 5–15%

Don't over-insure or under-insure: Home insurance should cover the replacement cost of your home — not its market value. In high-priced markets like Toronto or Vancouver, land value makes up much of the market price. Your dwelling coverage should reflect rebuild costs only.
