Home Energy monitor
OME ENERGY MONITOR PROGRAM
Get real-time feedback on your electricity use, and save $35 on a new Home Energy Monitor
Home energy monitors give you real-time information about your household's electricity use – in kilowatts, and dollars and cents.
Many BC Hydro customers are already tracking their hourly electricity use with MyHydro. Now, with new Home Energy Monitors, you can track the electricity you and your family are using in real time. This means when you turn on your clothes dryer, dishwasher, or other electric appliances or devices, your Home Energy Monitor will show you the real time consumption – and cost. Seeing how much electricity you're using – as you're using it – will help you to better manage your power consumption, and save energy and money.
BC Hydro customers can choose from two Rainforest Automation monitors: the EMU-2™ and the EAGLE™ – and for a limited time, BC Hydro customers will get $35 off the regular price*. See below for details on how to order the monitor that works for you.
