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
Studies suggest up to 40% consumption reduction. When residents see their own usage, they tend to conserve more.
