What do I need to know about home insurance in Cochrane, Alberta?

Home insurance is not mandatory in Alberta, but if you have a mortgage your lender will likely require you to have an insurance policy.

Alberta can have severe weather at times like tornadoes, wildfires, and hailstorms. Home insurance typically helps protect when these severe weather events happen.

Without home insurance, you’ll be responsible for paying out of pocket for damages to your home and detached structures like your shed or garage.

Home insurance also covers your personal belongings and helps protect you should someone get injured at your home.

I have dealt with Linda and Jean at Western Financial Group Inc. in Cochrane, AB for many years involving house, auto and travel insurance needs. I have always received courteous, competent service from them. In fact, after I moved to Calgary, I kept WFG Inc. Cochrane as my insurance broker. I would highly recommend their service to others.
