disclaim due wear and tear

by CKarter on Sep 12, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

Some insurance companies try to help their customers when an unexpected and unavoidable issue strikes. Apparently not Economical. The Economical adjuster was so focused on finding excluded Perils she seemed happy she could claim it was caused by wear and tear. Except it wasn't wear-and-tear of something I own or have any control of. They did nothing to help or even provide advice. Definitively, the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. Buyer beware you think you have insurance I found out the hard way.

Thank You Economical

by Regan on Sep 5, 2017
5 out of 5 stars

We have all heard the horror stories about insurance companies. This is not one of those stories. We had a house fire. Thank goodness nobody was injured. Economical Insurance had an adjuster onsite before the fire was out. He told us not to worry and that our claim had already been started. He assured us that everything would be alright and that the company was having a check written up right away to get us started.
It took 7 months to get the place rebuilt. The restoration company was swamped with claims but they did a great job. We are back in our house now. Everything is up to code and almost everything we lost has been replaced. The whole time we were out of the house, Mr. Fred Lee and Economical Ins. looked after us like we were family. We can't thank them enough but thanks again Mr. Fred Lee and all the staff at Economical Ins..

Horrendous to deal with

by Frustrated in Fairview on Aug 25, 2017

I didn't get my policy from them because they mailed it to the wrong address. It took two months to get a payment rate from them and then when I made the payment, they had already cancelled my policy. Still took half the payment I did make, then supposedly mailed me a check, which I have no assurance I will get because they never corrected the address! Can't be bothered to make a single phone call to their customers, completely reliant on mail and blame the customer when the mail doesn't go through. Don't do business with them.

Cheapest Insurance !

I might as well not have had insurance. Every dollar to pay our claim has been a fight. If you ever have a claim while insured with Economical Insurance be prepared to do battle to recover your interests.
I would not recommend them to anyone.
They should change the name for economical insurance to CHEAPSKATE'S or TIGHTWAD'S . that is what they are like to deal with.

HORRIBLE COMPANY

by Lynner35 on Aug 14, 2017

I had a window that started leaking back in May 2017, they sent a G.C. out he never even got a ladder out of his truck.... Flat out told me he knows nothing about windows and will subcontract this out... Said I had wood rot which I don't, I know a little about building and wood rot.... So I asked them to send out a window guy.... It's now the end of August 2017 and no one has been out to look, I have had no one follow up.... Except for my personal broker... This company is a joke... Unprofessional and just ridiculous to deal with. I have the correct coverage and even my broker had said I have the right coverage for this...

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

by 67Sunshine on May 25, 2017

I have had insurance with this company for 8 years. This winter my roof sustained damage after unprecedented snow fall in March. Long story short, I made a claim and have been getting the run around ever since. It's been 2 months and the only thing they did was take the tarps off my roof. The adjuster is conveniently away and/or needing more photos every time I call. What a nightmare.

Households in Alberta pay, on average, approximately $60/month in homeowners’ insurance costs. We can help to push these costs even further down. Get a house insurance quote today to start saving today. Rates start at $20/month.

Avoid

Dealing with them now for a claim - we had a plumber, house inspector and structural engineer come in and say that the water damage was from a sump pump failure. Without sending any professionals themselves, they rejected the claim saying that it was a weeping tile issue. I mentioned that I was going to escalate the issue to the ombudsman, the manager from economical said "just get a lawyer" - it seems as if they are counting on us not pursuing this claim because of steep lawyer fees. Sump pump failure is covered by our premiums, but they are trying their best to avoid paying. We buy insurance for when the unexpected occurs - well with this company you can count on bad customer service, aggressive assessors, condescending team leads, and just an awful experience.

They are professional, answer questions & queries promptly with a courteous manner. I find their insurance as the name itself states - economical & although I have had no claims, I expect the claims agents would be as thorough and professional as the service I've received so far from the rest of the company.
