Affordable home insurance is becoming a must in Hamilton

As the cost of living in Hamilton rises, any way to save money is worth exploring — an easy way is to lower your home insurance costs.

Hamilton residents pay an average of nearly $1,500 per year for home insurance, or about $124 per month. That’s higher than the Ontario home insurance average — and much higher than Onlia’s average of $611 per year for home insurance in Hamilton.

Home insurance is not mandatory in Hamilton. But it protects you, your home and your property against fire, weather, theft or other perils.


Types of home insurance from Onlia


Whether you’ve just bought your first time, planning to rent, or have a condo, we have insurance tailored to your needs.

 
  • Homeowner insurance: This will cover your private residence, protect the contents of your home and your liability if someone gets hurt in your home.
  • Renter insurance: Also called tenant insurance, it will protect your belongings and give you liability coverage. It doesn’t protect the home itself, but that’s fine because you don’t own it.
  • Condo insurance: Condo insurance will protect your unit within a condo building, including the contents of the unit like appliances, clothing and furniture. It’ll also cover additional living expenses if you need to relocate while your condo is being repaired.
