By adopting the Hilo smart home and taking Hilo challenges, you’re joining a collective effort to reduce energy consumption and, as a bonus, earn cash rewards, in addition to lowering your electricity bill. It’s an investment that really pays! It’s even possible to recoup the cost of your initial investment in two winters or less! Read on for more information.

Money in your pockets

The Hilo smart home gives you money back in two ways: First, thanks to its connected devices that can be operated remotely, you can save on energy all year long. That means a lower electricity bill by up to 15%! Second, when you take Hilo challenges, you receive cash rewards. Depending on your participation level, your home’s features, and your energy consumption habits, you could earn an average reward of $140 per winter! At that pace, your initial investment might quickly become profitable!

Here are a few examples

Leo and Karim’s savings

The starter kit includes:
 
  • the Hilo hub
  • 2 smart plug-in switches

The couple then bought five smart thermostats and added two smart in-wall switches to their order.

Their return on investment: In one year, Leo and Karim earned $81 in cash rewards and saved $123 on their electricity bill. Adding both amounts together, they covered their initial investment of $446.75 in less than three years.
