Features of the free app: - Your whole home’s hourly energy use data up to the previous day. - A breakdown of how your home uses energy. - Insights and tips to help you save. - Custom notifications based on your budget.

The HydroHome app is available to most BC Hydro residential customers. Hubs aren’t available to customers in apartment buildings due to limitations with the wireless technology.
