Features & Capabilities

The HydroHome app gives BC Hydro customers tools and insights to track, understand and manage their home’s electricity use anywhere, anytime. Free features include 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, and custom notifications based on your budget. If you purchase a hub (optional) through the app, you gain real-time data, device-specific energy use, and the ability to control compatible smart devices all in one app.

With greater knowledge of your home’s energy use, you can take actions to save energy and money. The HydroHome app is available to most BC Hydro residential customers. Hubs aren’t available to customers in apartment buildings due to wireless technology limitations. Please note that other account management services such as viewing and paying your bill are not available on the HydroHome app; to use these services please log in to your MyHydro account.

User Reviews

Users commonly report that the HydroHome app suffers from loading failures (grey screens), login difficulties, and frequent crashes or logouts. Many have experienced reduced functionality due to features moving to a paid tier, making the free version less useful. Data accuracy and update reliability are often questioned, and UI issues complicate usage. However, some users appreciate the app's informational value when functional, particularly with added monitoring devices, and have had positive support experiences. Overall, users find the app unreliable and limited compared to the BC Hydro website.

Users experience persistent login problems, including incorrect username/password errors and system errors.
Many features have been removed from the free tier, pushing users towards paid upgrades with less useful basic information.

Recent reviews

After logging in and answering a few questions about my home, I was greeted with a grey screen and nothing else. You keep saying that issues are fixed - they aren't. Every time I open the app, I'm greeted with nothing but grey screen.

Keeps telling me I have the wrong username or password. Have checked and double checked. App does not work. After developers contacted me, they fixed the bug. Working good now. Thanks.
