Condos Submetering in Guelph
Submetering gives every condo owner visibility and control over their electricity use. No more equal splitting of bulk bills. Each suite pays for what they actually use.
Why Submetering
Why Guelph Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For condos in Guelph, submetering means removing electricity from your operating expenses and letting each unit 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.

Condos FAQ for Guelph
Does the condo board need to approve submetering?
Yes. A board resolution is typically required to proceed with submetering. The decision process varies by corporation, and we can assist with the information boards need to evaluate the option.
What happens to the common area electricity?
Common area electricity (lobby, corridors, elevators, parking, mechanical systems) remains on the building's bulk account. Only in-suite consumption is shifted to individual metering.
Will condo fees go down?
When a significant portion of electricity cost moves to individual suite billing, the electricity component of common expenses may be reduced. However, common expense budgets are set by the board and consider many factors.
