Submetering in Cambridge
Cambridge's growing multi-residential sector benefits from submetering's ability to provide transparent, fair billing. Property managers across Cambridge's diverse neighbourhoods choose submetering to promote conservation and reduce billing disputes.
Why Submetering
Why Cambridge Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For Cambridge 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.
