Named perils home insurance in Canada

Named perils – or basic – home insurance is one of several policy types available to homeowners in Canada. As its name suggests, it protects your home against specific perils only – all of which are listed or ‘named’ in the policy. For instance, if ‘theft’ is mentioned, then the peril is covered. If the peril isn’t mentioned, then it isn’t covered. This applies to both your dwelling and personal belongings.
