Electric Meters

When it comes to electricity usage within multi-tenant properties, the common practice is to divide the overall monthly cost equally between each tenant. The problem is that the massive differences in electricity usage from tenant to tenant are not considered – which means that those who use electricity sparingly are being charged a lot more than their fair share, whereas others who neglect to pay any attention to conserving energy are not motivated to change their ways for the good of the environment.

Luckily, there is a solution for this problem: electricity submetering! With the help of electricity submetering systems, property owners and managers can now charge tenants from multi-tenant properties for their individual electricity usage, as opposed to splitting the cost evenly.

But how does it all work? The good news is that starting an electricity submetering project is quite straightforward. All you need is a system that includes the appropriate electricity meters for your application, as well as a wired or wireless Automated Meter Reading system that fits in with the unique needs of your property and those who occupy it. Click here to learn more.

Needless to say, there are many benefits to electricity submetering. Along with happier tenants, those who have been abusing electricity will now have a reason to change their ways! Property owners and managers will be able to provide comprehensive monthly data to all tenants, detailing just how much electricity was utilized and when. This is likely to lead to tenants using electricity more sparingly to save money, which reduces electricity costs and, in turn, increases property values.

Another advantage is the fact that electricity submetering can be implemented when it comes to many different multi-unit applications, including:

  • Apartments
  • Condos
  • Manufactured housing
  • Commercial properties
  • Offices
  • Retail properties
