MONTREAL — Telus and Hilo, a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, today announced a pilot project in Québec City that will see Telus’s home automation and security technologies bundled with Hilo’s smart home solutions “to help Quebecers seamlessly manage their electricity and security, while reducing their bills and environmental footprint,” says a press release.
Over the coming weeks, the bundled offer will be rolled out to residents in more cities across the province, the release says.
“Quebecers who take advantage of combined services from Telus and Hilo will receive discounts of up to $315 on their bill — the value of three months of Telus SmartHome Security services at $0 and a $150 credit from Hilo. Customers who opt for the bundle will enjoy additional savings of up to 15% on their electricity bills thanks to Hilo’s smart home technologies,” reads the release.
Hilo’s products include smart thermostats that are designed and manufactured in Québec by Hilo and its partners. Telus SmartHome Security includes alarm systems, electronic locks, smart outlets and security cameras.
“Hilo is a key partner on our journey to have more Quebecers adopt and promote sustainable practices, thanks to improved energy-efficiency offerings for the home,” said Marie-Christine D’Amours, Telus vice-president of consumer solutions and customer experience for Québec, in the release.
“This collaboration marks another important milestone in Telus’s evolution from a telecommunications company to a global technology leader with digital solutions, health and agriculture divisions. As Canada’s largest provider of home security and automation services, we are proud to expand our offer in Québec to create a friendlier future with efficient and user-friendly technologies,” D’Amours said.
“This collaborative effort will enable us to further advance the evolution of smart-home technologies in the years to come, and thus to give all Québec residents the tools they need to use electricity more efficiently and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Sébastien Fournier, CEO of Hilo.
