They increase your premium by 40% without a good reason, BTW, no claim history for 13 years

I was claims free with on my home insurance with TD for 19 years then when a tree fell on my shed during a windstorm, I quickly found out they care way more about their "preferred vendors" than they do about their customers. They gave me a replacement quote from their preferred vendor that the vendor would not honor and did not even cover the cost of the materials to replace the shed let alone labor. After 4 months of being ignored, not having emails or calls responded to and not being put through to a manager when requested, I started shopping around and found better coverage for both my home and autos at less than half the cost that I was paying TD insurance. Even trying to cancel the policy was a pain. Used their portal to request a call first thing in the morning and they never called. At 3:25 PM tried again and site told me the office was closed. Called in and low and behold it was still open.
I got TD home insurance because TD was my first and only bank at the time. I opened my first account with them as a teenager and felt like I needed to be loyal as they are my parents bank as well. Also I was supposedly going to get a university alumni/staff discount. When I first got the home insurance in 2019 the monthly payments were about $120/month which was high but hey as a first time homeowner I thought that was decent. Come 2026 the monthly payments skyrocketed to $180/month. No justification for such an increase. My partner and I shopped around and ended up switching to AllState including bundling 2 vehicles. The home insurance portion with Allstate is now $116/month for comparable coverage. In reality no insurance company is good but when you are ripping off your loyal customers it is time to cut the cord.
This pathetic company lured me in with a "reasonable" premium (3000 CAD) for the first year, then, in spite of being claim-free for several years, offered to renew with a premium of 4000 CAD... Their explanation was that this increase was a general trend over the province. I checked and found out that actually the average increrase was about 7-8%. So I shopped around and found a better policy for 3100CAD.
Don't waste your time with these clowns...
Poor customer service and very poor risk assessment practice. I made substantial improvements to my home reducing risk profile and increasing safety but TD doesn't want to lower my premiums. During signup, they said premiums will be lower after upgrades but the reality is completely different!
Conned me into signing up, a few months later almost doubled my home rate
Been an Auto member for over 2 years now. Decided to ask for an updated house policy this time at renewal. They gave me a very competitive rate which overall matched what I was paying elsewhere. A few months in they decided to do a house inspection and then took another few months after that. Then decided I need to pay almost twice what they originally quoted! I have to switch back at huge change in premium, I'm now out about $500 - $800 due to this. Do not use TD home insurance or trust the rate they give you!

They suddenly increased my home insurance by 40% without reasonable explanation, I am 13 year loyal client, without any claim for so many years, the renewal notice showed their raise of premium for this year is 40% higher than last year. I called and questioned the agent, the agent was not able to give me a good explanation, and the attitude is really rude. I chose to cancel the policy with TD Insurance, recommend you to do the same thing too.
