My apartment use Metergy Solution as sub metering and I believe the actual equipment is *** ******. Starting from January of this year I start to notice my electricity bill is unreasonably high, because in December my bill was around 200, which is understandable since is the winter month and I use heating. But in January I was out for vacation for 20 days, my bill for January is still around 200, which does not make sense, no one used any electricity in that 20 days. And starting from January my bill has always been around 200, and I live in a studio by myself, which is not what a studio's electrcity bill should look like. And I do not have any equipment that consume a lot of electricity and I don't open my light 24/7. And starting in March, the weather is warmer so I stopped using the heating, my bill is still around 200. This does not make any sense because in my old apartment also I asked people around me everyone's electricity bill gets lower when it turns to spring. Up until this month I just got my latest bill which is still around 200, and I haven' t even use much air conditioner.
So I think is either my meter is read it wrong or there's something wrong with my meter.
I tried to contact Metergy's customer serivice and let them send someone to check my meter, they said they could send someone to check it but there is not time guarantee about when they will come. I also tried to called *** ****** and ***, but they said there's nothing they can do. And my building's management couldn't solve the problem either. I can't just wait for them and not know when they will come because I still need to pay those bill every month.
So I'm writing this complaint trying to let someone take care of the issue asap.
Thank you so much for all your help.Business Response

I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding the recent water bill I received for Unit #***. I initially signed my lease in February 2024, which ended on January 31, 2025. At the time of signing, I was clearly informed that water charges were included in the rent. During that entire lease period, I did not receive any water bills, which reinforced my understanding that water was covered.
However, after renewing my lease in February 2025, I received my first water bill in April 2025. The bill is not only unusually high but also appears to be backdated to January 2024. I contacted the Metergy Solution company, and they informed me that my account was only created in April 2025. This raises serious concerns as to why I am being billed for a period before the account existed and before any communication was made regarding separate water billing. In light of the above, I respectfully request that all water charges dated before April 2025 be waived and that billing be reviewed based on the date of account activation.Business Response

However, as a goodwill gesture, Metergy has waived charges prior to March 1, 2025, and adjusted the account accordingly.Customer Answer

Charging a "convenience" fee when there is not any other way to pay the monthly bill than online is outrageous. Couldn't pay invonveniently if I wanted to!Business Response

Some months I receive my metergy bill late and other months, I don't get a bill at all. I have to call and request my bill to only be charged a late fee. I'm charged every month a late fee for a bill I never received or a bill I received late. Payment is due the 8th of every month but I receive my bill after the 8th. Then it takes about 2-3 weeks for metergy to receive and post the payment to my account, therefore, causing a late fee to be charged to my account. Metergy constantly blames the post office. They are responsible. It's now the month of May and the last bill I received was February. It's not my responsibility to call this ******** electric company to request my bill, to Then be charged a late fee. *** **** *** *** *** **** ******** ************ **** ****. They are ******** customers, blaming it on the post office, and charging late fees for their incompetence. I now have to call them and request 2 months of bills. This is every month. Someone needs to do something because they are not taking responsibility and charging late fees to every customer for their incompetence. This is unacceptable.Customer Answer

After making a payment 2 weeks ago, I get notified that the payment did not go through due to "account closed" and now Metergy is trying to charge me $45 for non sufficient funds, which is not true. I followed all the instructions to make the payment and this error is not on my part, I will not pay for their mistakes. I would like to have this fee withdrawn. If I could sign up with a different company I would, but this is the only one in the building.Business Response

Company Name: Metergy Solutions
Complaint Topic: Billing errors, meter mix-ups, dishonest and abusive practices
?
Complaint Text:
Since June 2024, I’ve been living in a unit serviced by Metergy Solutions, but I didn’t receive any electricity bills until January 2025, when I was suddenly issued a bill of $1,345.
After investigation, it was revealed that the charges were caused by a meter mix-up between units, and I was also wrongfully billed for several months when I was not yet living in the apartment.
Metergy acknowledged that the delays and errors were not my fault, and promised to make adjustments. However, no correction has been made to this day.
Instead of receiving regular bills for my actual usage starting from January 2025, I continue to receive old invoices from 2024, which are inaccurate and irrelevant.
In April, I received a bill of $228 due April 21, then two more bills due by May 5, again without explanation or a breakdown of my current consumption.
This situation is abusive, dishonest, and incredibly stressful. I am a mother of two young children, and this ongoing pressure is having serious impacts on my mental health and living situation.
I am formally requesting that:
• All unjustified invoices from 2024 be cancelled,
• I receive accurate and transparent billing starting only from January 2025,
• A clear breakdown of my actual energy consumption be provided going forward,
• Metergy stops sending unverified amounts and assumes full responsibility for its errors.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am not satisfied with the company. To me, it remains one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. They sent me a bill covering an entire year, which I paid only to avoid them damaging my credit score. Their billing management is extremely dishonest. Many customers on their website have experienced the same issue — they always have delays in billing and then put you into debt.
I would like my file to be closed. I will no longer do business with them, as I ended my lease this May specifically to avoid dealing with Metergy again.
Thank you for the attention given to my case.
Best regards,

This company is ******** ** every month ** sending me emails telling me my account is overdue. This may reflect on my credit rating as this is 3 months in a row this company *** ******* ** ** incorrectly telling me my bill is overdue.
I have never had an overdue bill with this company. The fact is all my bills are overpaid and I have a cash balance on my account.
Please demand this company not create any entry on my or any persons credit rating who has current and fully paid accounts. Please demand this company properly file late payment notices. I have the late payment notice dated Easter Friday, a stat holiday and again my bill was paid very early and overpaid so I have a cash balance.Business Response

Inconsistent billing from the date I moved in. Closed my account and moved out August 30th. Received two bills in August in order to close my account. I have no been charged in December and January which have been reversed by my bank. Metergy continues to claim I owe them money. Upon further invesitigation, I have been charged twice a month since April 2024. I cant see the years prior in banking app but I'm sure these arent one off incidents.Business Response

My wife and I own a condo unit a *** **** ******, Unit #*** in Ottawa. The condo board or management company switched to Metergy Solutions a couple of years ago to manage the sub-metering for electricity for each unit. Last year (2024) a period of 4-5 months went by without any billing and Metergy finally came forward acknowledging a billing issue which was finally resolved and clients were required to pay one large bill to rectify. However, on our Metergy account, the same billing date appears 4 times with different amounts charged and transaction numbers.
Moving forward, we have noticed that billing is 30-40% higher the last 2 months compared to the same 2 months last year for our Metergy electricity billing. Many other tenants and owners in the building have also noticed and have been complaining to the BoD and condo management company. Further research online shows others in the Province also complaining about increased "usage" charges from Metergy, while we remain convinced that Metergy has been engaging in gouging of electricity billing charges. ****** *** *** ****** ********** ******** *** ***** *************************************************************************************************
I addition, we have reached out to the Ontario Energy Board to file a complaint with them -- ************, and requesting that BBB also reach out to Metergy as the company's method of rationalizing increased consumption is not in alignment with the % increase in monthly billing. Finally, we have asked Metergy to provide us with one full year of monthly billing usage, total $ amount charge per month and all electricity costs and fees for each month, so to compare 2025 bills with 2024.
We have paid the 2-month billed amounts totalling $170.15 to Metergy, as we suspect the company will simply refer out bill to a collection agency and affect our immaculate credit score. We are asking BBB to contact Metergy to help us acquire the accurate monthly totals.Business Response
