Supply and service sector faces new competition
|
Mechanical Business has uncovered information regarding Hydro One that will impact mechanical contractors and their suppliers. Our interest was prompted by a flyer an MB staffer received in the mail concerning a British-based company named HomeServe that sells a range of emergency home repair programs.
Subsequently, we learned that Hydro One, an electrical utility in Ontario, is endorsing three exclusive partners, one of which is HomeServe, in the sale of residential HVAC and plumbing products, and services.
The other partners are Home Depot and 1Click Heating and Cooling, which bills itself as Canada’s first fully ecommerce-based HVAC company. When you visit My Energy Marketplace on the Hydro One website a variety of products are highlighted including home repair plans along with brand name air conditioning units, heat pumps and water heaters among other products.
These web pages have general notes about these products but when you scroll down to "Featured Products" actual pricing is listed along with rebates, which you can only access if you purchase from that vendor. A button is provided to let the reader learn more or as the site says "explore" about each product. These buttons take the reader to the HomeServe or Home Depot or 1Click websites.
Similar to industry challenges in the 1980s with Ontario gas utilities, Hydro One is taking a different but somewhat similar route into the HVAC and plumbing marketplace. Mechanical Business sent questions to Hydro One to better understand the relationships and intention of the parties involved.
