FINANCING

Wyse delivers end-to-end submetering solutions with no capital costs or ongoing fees for the property manager, building owner or developer. The bottom line is we pay for meters and installation. We are backed by one of Canada’s largest banking institutions, with over $7 billion in assets, who understands the unique needs of the market.

Our model offers the opportunity to become part of an environment that provides a stable operational enhancement. As Ontario energy prices soar 45% over the next five years and rent increases are capped at 2.5% per year, no other solution can match the financial returns of Wyse submetering:

• Decreases operating costs
• Increases Net Operating Income
• Maximizes rent levels
• Increases property values
• Reduces energy consumption by up-to-34%
• Empowers residents to pay for only what they use and reap the rewards of their conservation efforts
• Provides online analysis tools for residents and management
• Reduces installation labour costs on new construction
• Qualifies for LEED certification

BILLING

At Wyse, billing is not an add-on. It is fundamental to our business model. Our team provides utility-grade service – in fact they bill for 42 other utilities in Ontario.

We ensure resident and owner bills are prepared accurately and delivered within days of their billing schedule. This results in a meaningful bill to the resident while enhancing cash flow to the property manager, building owner and developer.

The backbone of Wyse billing is a powerful system that collects data electronically from each meter and wirelessly transmits data to our Customer Information System (CIS) software. The data is used to calculate each resident’s detailed bill with applicable rates so they only pay for the energy they used. A robust quality assurance process is applied before bills are printed and mailed.

The Bill:

Each resident will receive a professional and concise bill from Wyse outlining individual energy usage and previous consumption history.  Electrical, water or natural gas usage is detailed on one bill, as required. Customers can also view their bills online using our portal. The bill can be conveniently paid online or at any financial institution. Property bulk bills are individually audited each month to identify and correct errors and to ensure rate accuracy.

REPORTING

Our advanced reporting tools allow customers to analyze consumption and identify efficiency opportunities, ultimately enhancing their financial performance

Management Reporting:

Property managers, building owners and developers can view total building consumption using our web portal consumption and aggregate tools. You are able to run metrics on your properties to compare consumption; the total amount billed across all suites (i.e. even non-bill paying suites) and cross-reference how one building is performing against another building.

Resident Reporting:

User-friendly online tools are available for residents to view their billing and consumption history. Accurate reporting reinforces to residents that they only pay for what they use and reap the financial rewards of their conservation efforts, without the burden of subsidizing high users.
