What are the main elements of the heating system?
The central boiler plant is fuelled by Natural Gas. Hot water from the central plant is pumped around the building as required to supply each apartment with heating and domestic hot water. Local controls in each apartment enables customers to easily set their time schedules and temperatures to match their own requirements.
How do I operate the heating system?
The heating system is operable via the controller and thermostats located throughout your apartment. The operating instructions for the controllers can be found HERE
Do I need to program my hot water?
No. Hot water is supplied instantly through a plate heat exchanger so there is no need to schedule your water use. Simply turn on your hot tap or shower and you will have a constant supply of hot water.
How are meter readings taken?
Meters are installed in your heat interface unit (HIU). Meter readings are taken from each premises heat meter via a central processing unit located within the central plant room of the development. Therefore, access to premises is not required to take individual meter readings and meter readings will be actual recordings of units consumed.
What is involved in the billing process?
Bills will be issued bi-monthly based on the kWh energy consumption per apartment at the current heat tariff rates. Bills will be issued to tenants as named on the apartment lease. The amount on each bill is due for payment 14 days from when the bill is issued.
What are the charges on my heat invoice?
The heat tariff is made up of three charges. The usage charge is calculated using the kWh metered at your premises and the usage rate that is set based on the cost of gas and the efficiency of the main system. The standing charge is similar to the supply charges levied by any utility provider and relates to the fixed costs of providing the heat service regardless of usage. The sinking fund charge is a fixed daily charge that is held by your owner’s management company for future replacements of the central plant & equipment.
How often do the tariff rates change?
Energy rates are calculated by using input gas costs and the system efficiency of the main plant and equipment on site. Our rates are currently not fixed due to global inflation in energy costs. Rates are now revised bi-monthly in conjunction with the management company and may increase or decrease dependent on gas rates and system efficiency levels.
