GAS FIREPLACES: The future is now!

With rising energy costs pushing strata budgets to the brink, more and more Stratas are looking for ways to save money and control costs. The cost of operating a single pilot light on a gas fireplace is now over $10.00 per month! “Sharing” the yearly gas costs amongst all tenants or owners has led to bitter battles, especially when some tenants use their gas fireplaces to satisfy their entire heating load.

New wireless technology makes dividing up gas costs easy, by simply having an energy monitor installed under your fireplace or any gas appliance. Your usage is recorded and sent by a wireless mesh network to a central data storage centre. The information is processed then sent to your Strata or Property Management Company for allocation. The system is reliable and affordable, paying for itself in as little as 12 to 18 months.

Benefits

· You Pay For What YOU use, not the misuse of others.

· Control Your Building Operating Costs.

· Keep Strata Fees Down.

· Encourage Conservation and Efficiency.

· Reduce Gas Consumption by as Much as 30%!

· Keep Your Commercial Gas Rate.

· Affordable – the System Pays for Itself in as Little as The First Year!

· No Wiring Required.

A typical strata complex with 60 gas fireplaces could save over $250,000 in 10 years, including the cost of the system and maintenance.

The same network can be used for other applications in the future such as hot or cold water usage, sensors for water or gas leaks, carbon monoxide sensing, heating and cooling controls, Medic alerts, termites, mould spores (leaky condo alert), meth labs and marijuana grow ops for rental properties.

Additionally, most major appliance manufacturers are working on being compatible with the same system and will be able to let you know if there is a problem with your fridge, stove, dishwasher or washer and dryer. A service company would be notified before you even know you have a problem!
