New Construction Submetering in Thunder Bay
Building new? Incorporating submetering into your design from the start is the most efficient approach. We work with your development team to design, install, and commission meters before occupancy.
Why Submetering
Why Thunder Bay Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For new construction in Thunder Bay, 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.

New Construction FAQ for Thunder Bay
When should submetering be incorporated into the design?
The earlier the better. Ideally, metering is considered during the electrical design phase so that meter locations, communications pathways, and data infrastructure are built in rather than added later.
Does Voltage Vision work directly with the electrical contractor?
Yes. We coordinate with your electrical contractor and engineering team to ensure metering is installed correctly and tested before occupancy.
