What is suite metering?
Suite metering is a program offered to condominiums, where each unit gets its own submeter. This means that customers pay only for the electricity used in their unit and can benefit from their individual conservation efforts.
For condo boards, the program helps them better manage the electricity use in common areas, including hallways, lobbies, garages and HVAC systems.
How does suite metering work?
Once the Board approves the conversion to Suite Metering, we complete the installation and provide a post-conversion report. The summary shows the consumption difference between units and common areas to help with recalculation of common area maintenance fees.
Email our suite metering team for more details.
