Submetering in Burlington
Burlington's downtown intensification and lakefront developments have brought new multi-residential buildings that benefit from submetering. Fair, transparent billing helps Burlington property managers maintain resident satisfaction while promoting energy conservation.
Why Submetering
Why Burlington Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For Burlington property managers, submetering means removing electricity from your operating expenses and letting each resident pay only for what they use.
Fair Billing
Each unit pays for their own electricity consumption. No more equal-split disputes or subsidizing heavy users.
Zero Installation Cost
Voltage Vision covers the entire meter installation. No capital expenditure required from your building.
Conservation
