Individual gas meters make condo living even more attractive at Genex Development’s new multi-family development, the Madison.

 

“Customers definitely relate to individual metering,” said Susan Vollmer, Genex Development. “They definitely understand what you’re talking about when you say to them you’ll be in charge of your own destiny as far as your gas consumption is concerned.”

 

More and more people are opting for the convenience of condo living. And why not? With individual metering, these homeowners now have complete control over their energy use just as they would in a single family detached home.

Older condos are centrally metered for gas, but individually metered for electricity. As a result, natural gas usage is paid through monthly maintenance fees rather than individual billing.

 

Genex wanted to offer homebuyers at South Surrey’s Madison innovation with individual gas metering.

 

With individual gas metering, condo owners only pay for the natural gas they use. “If you want to keep your unit at 90 degrees, you’re going to be the one that pays for that,” said Vollmer, adding the scenario also works in reverse. “And if you want to keep your unit at 55 degrees and the guy next door is keeping his at 90, you’re not going to have to worry about paying for that either.”

 

With each unit metered individually, residents will enjoy lower strata fees, easy management of their utility costs, and freedom to choose whatever natural gas appliances they want.

 

Research shows that today’s homebuyers look for natural gas as their fuel of choice for space and water heating equipment.

A Georgie Award winner, Genex has built a reputation in South Surrey as one of the better builders. The company’s decision to individually meter its condo developments in the future further proves this point.

 

“Our basic message is quality and that’s why we’ve gone this route,” said Vollmer. Strata fees at the Madison should remain stable now that natural gas use is individually metered. “All residents are paying for in their maintenance fees are the common cost to maintain the foyer, hallway, the garage and those sorts of things,” said Vollmer. With stable maintenance fees and quality natural gas appliances, this progressive development reflects a new direction in multi-family living.

 

Genex is a leading example of a builder/developer who understands that today’s condo buyers look for control over their space. You, too, can offer your homebuyers all the advantages of versatile, innovative and desirable natural gas appliances with individual gas metering.
