Your home is where you spend most of your time building memories with family, and it’s probably your largest financial investment.

Experiencing any loss or damage to your home can be emotionally and financially stressful, we’ll help you recover from this loss.

Home has a different meaning for many people. You might prefer to own your own house, with a nice size yard. As an empty nester, owning a condo to call home makes sense as it allows you the freedom to simply lock your door and travel. For others, an apartment might be the right choice. Regardless of what you call home, we will always have a solution to protect you and your family, we can also include a seasonal residence or personal umbrella liability coverage if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penny Charlebois

Agent

Do I carry enough coverage on my home if there is a fire and I lose everything?

That is a very real concern for everyone, especially if you know a friend or family member that has suffered such a devastating loss. It’s our priority to ensure that every property insurance policy has the right coverage and proper limits in place. We go the extra mile when it comes to home insurance, offering regular loss prevention visits and routine evaluation checks to make sure you’re insured to value, that means that should you lose everything in a claim, we’ll put you back in the same position you previously enjoyed before the loss.

Am I covered for water coming in through my basement?

If you have a claim for water damage, it’s important to know the source of the water. Your coverage will depend on the what caused the damage and the insurance you’ve purchased. We offer a range of insurable options that include basic water escape from pipes or appliances, to sewer backup, to a full water protection endorsement that includes flooding. Not everyone qualifies for all coverage, but we’ll advise and make you aware of the options available depending on your property location and risk assessment of our loss prevention team.

Will a higher policy deductible lower my homeowner insurance premium?

The answer is yes, anytime that you assume more of the risk by covering a larger portion of a loss via your deductible will result in a lower premium. Some feel that the only time they would claim against their insurance policy is for a major loss or damage. If you agree, then carrying a higher deductible and saving some money on a lower premium makes sense. This applies to all lines of insurance, but savings may vary depending on the amount of increase in your deductible, our professional insurance advisors can discuss options and savings with you to find the best fit at your comfort level.

Why do you require that your Loss Prevention team visit my property regularly?

Erie Mutual takes loss prevention very seriously, as we would also hope all our members do as well. Our company believes that everyone who places their insurance coverage with Erie Mutual deserves the very best customer experience, that includes the added value of our loss prevention efforts. To us, it’s inconceivable how large stock insurance companies can offer proper insurance protection to homes they have never seen, or why someone would trust to insure with a company that has never visited or even taken pictures.

We arrange for our Loss Prevention team to visit every new property we insure, as well as schedule regular visits at the time most convenient for you every four years (two years for farm policies). The visit to your property allows us to assess any changes or updates made since our previous visit, or in the case of a first-time visit, it also gives us a visual to identify any risks or safety concerns which should be corrected to ensure the safety of you and your family. Loss prevention visits provide an opportunity to educate and inform Erie Mutual members, it’s part of the great relationship we’ve built over years with each of our members. Our members appreciate that their insurer is truly concerned with their family’s overall safety and well-being.

Member Testimonials

  • "I recently switched to Erie after being with my previous company for years. I had been putting off getting quotes because of the tedious process however my agent made it so easy for me. I am so glad I decided to get the quote because it resulted in a significant savings for me. Not only that but she went above and beyond and the customer service was amazing. Glad I switched, I would highly recommend Erie Mutual."

  • "Last year we went through a tornado in the area, a large maple tree came down along the side of our house. It took down hydro wires, Bell wires some siding, and crushed the roof of our Buick - the result was the loss of most of our appliances, along with the obvious damage. It took several calls to get hydro help and endless calls to get Bell, but only one call, and my Erie Mutual representative was right here. He was calm (which I wasn't) and very efficient. He sorted through all the details of our claim. We received a cheque to cover the appliances, right down to the kettle. The whole disaster was under control and fixed in no time. Erie Mutual representatives were pleasant and understanding, they moved us through this chaos and took all the pressure away. I applaud and congratulate Erie Mutual for their professionalism and kindness."

  • “Erie Mutual has been a fantastic insurance company for our auto and home needs. My agent was extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and kind when establishing our policies, he left no stone unturned and was very thorough in completing the policies. Our home inspection was very educational regarding fire safety and the protection of our family. I was so pleased and comfortable with Erie Mutual that I recommended the company to my family and friends, and will continue to do so. In a small town word of mouth is the best form of advertising.”

A couple of years ago we had a lot of smoke damage and it was the same day someone came out to assess the damage! In a couple of days, we had a cleaning company come and get rid of the black on the walls and ceiling and the smoke smell! Also this year I had damage to my vehicle and it was looked after quickly! Your team is the best!! Thank you for everything you do!!"
