Submetering in North Bay

North Bay's multi-residential buildings, including Nipissing University housing, benefit from submetering's transparent billing. Individual metering is especially valuable in Northern Ontario where electricity consumption varies significantly between units.

Why Submetering

Why North Bay Buildings Choose Submetering

According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For North Bay 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
