Intact Insurance Home Insurance Reviews

No tickets or claims. I went from 514 a month to 677 this year. This is complete robbery.

I am headed to my broker's office shortly. Just got our home insurance renewal. They want $3614.00 per year for a home that is worth only $350,000.00.
We have never had a claim with them, or anyone else for over 30 years.
We have bundled coverage with them, (they have our car insurance), which supposedly will make the package cheaper. Our car insurance is another 1500 bucks per year for 3 cars, 2 drivers with totally clean records.
We have had our insurance with this broker since they were Robinson Agencies, many years ago, they are now Western Financial Group.
We have never had any water or sewer backup in our home, and have owned it as our primary residence for 18 years at this location.
So much for customer loyalty on their behalf. I would not recommend Intact insurance for anyone at this point in time. I am skeptical as to whether they will reduce our costs to comparable companies, so I am definitely shopping for another insurance company. I have heard in the past that it is prudent to change insurance companies every few years, as they become complacent with established customers and your rates just keep going up.
I am going to ask them when I go in this morning, to give me a quote as though I am a brand new customer.
My brother in law in Calgary has a 2 year old house that is worth a lot more than mine pays 1900 per year for his home insurance. Thanks for reading, and I hope it helps someone.

Have dealt with my broker for many years. I had house & car insurance with Intact for a few. Rates kept going up and Aug 2016 had a flat roof drain blocked with debris and heavy rain caused a back-up of water with fell into my kitchen ceiling & dining room wall. Intact was quick to open the claim but no-one came for several days. They, through the evaluator, sent the worst contractor possible. The painting had to be done 3 times in a couple areas but the final repair was only a passable quality- not what Intact claims. The job which would normally be 2-3 weeks maximum was done in 11-12 weeks - wow. Now my renewal is up and my house insurance cost was $1362 last year and has skyrocketed to $1822 this year - increase of 34%. The total damage to the house was $9123, but because there was hardwood floor water damage also and there was no room in the house to store the furniture, so I accepted a cheque of over $2200 and the contractor was paid the balance. I did not have the subcontractor re-do the floor & refinish. Thank God I didn't have the incompetent sub complete the floor refinish. Intact hires the cheapest worst contractors to save money for themselves but jacks the renewal price after. Intact never again - do not go with them either for a house or car insurance. They "seem" okay until there is a claim but then - pow

Been with Intact for over 25 years, and in 2012 had hail damage on house, was very dissatisfied with their adjuster and was a fight. Now on top of that have increased deductables on hail and water damage, in checking around seems only company to do this. Have checked with TD, and a couple others, yearly price about the same but for better coverage and lower deductables. Going to change.

On the auto side, fantastic service and coverage, but since are polices are bundled will also be changing.

Call center takes calls quickly, but get the run-around and no one returns calls from anyone else. Intact and Belair Direct are in same office and belong to same company.

It took a long time for them to call me back when I had questions.

Was somewhat disappointed with this company when my home insurance rate climbed susbstantially, without any claims, and felt the need to shop around for a less expensive alternative. Also, I continue to be disappointed that one can't specify how much contents insurance one wants to have with a home insurance policy.
