Small Metering Projects

Many condominiums have recreational facilities and commercial units as part of their common areas. If these areas are not separately metered, the electrical consumption is based on estimates, not on the actual usage of the facility or units.

Provident Energy can install a small metering system (either electrical, natural gas, thermal, or water) into your recreational facility or commercial units. This type of metering system is also available to condominiums that currently do not have individual suite sub-metering. The cost will depend on the number of units and the number of loads required to be metered. For example, if there are 5 commercial units and each unit has 4 electrical loads to meter (in-floor heating, exterior wall heaters, heating/AC units, and suite power), then the entire project would require 20 meters.

The data will be available online for property managers and accountants to read and bill. The invoices will be issued by property management. Provident Energy will simply host the data over the internet, along with providing maintenance services to the meters as required.

For more information on these small metering projects, please contact the sales department at Provident Energy at 416-736-0630, extension 5.
