Submetering in Pickering
Pickering's city centre development and GO Transit accessibility are driving new multi-residential construction. Submetering in Pickering ensures residents in these new buildings pay only for the electricity they use.
Why Submetering
Why Pickering Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For Pickering 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.
