Submetering in Collingwood
Collingwood's resort-style condo market and growing year-round community create unique submetering opportunities. Individual metering is particularly valuable in buildings with seasonal occupancy variations.
Why Submetering
Why Collingwood Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For Collingwood 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
Studies suggest up to 40% consumption reduction. When residents see their own usage, they tend to conserve more.
