Multifamily | Apartment
Submetering & Billing
We have partnered with more multifamily property managers than any other market we serve. We believe this is because of how we let our property managers completely control how we bill their residents, how we use their unique billing policies and guidelines to support their residents, how we audit their utility provider invoices to make sure they are not being over charged and how we support each property manager with a dedicated “Client Relations Manager” who knows them by name and is familiar with all of the services we provide for them. And these are just a few of the reasons…
Utility submetering and utility billing as all we do and we do it very well. Contact Us to learn why so many property managers choose Oates Energy for their Jupiter utility submetering and billing needs.
Condominium
Submetering & Billing
Condominium property managers and HOAs prefer Oates Energy for Jupiter utility submetering and billing for many of the same reasons that multifamily communities do. Apartment communities and condo communities alike appreciate how we are able to recover more of their utility costs fairly and accurately. They also appreciate how we customize and simplify monthly utility billing by billing residents for all of their monthly charges and fees in addition to utilities. Our U.S. based resident billing customer care is another very helpful service. Contact us about a customized utility submetering and billing solution for your condominium community.
Mobile Home Park
Submetering & Billing
Mobile home communities are similar to other multifamily communities with respect to their need to recover as much of their utility costs a possible. But they can and often do have some unique needs. It is not uncommon for a mobile home park to have a variety of needs and differences between residents.
We have tailored solutions for parks where a number of residences had functioning meters but the property manager did not want to replace a large number of failing meters. We’ve helped parks with many inconsistencies from resident to resident; billing them in different ways and for different monthly services. These types of inconsistencies can be a real bookkeeping challenge for any property manager. But for Oates Energy it is another new opportunity.
Since our services are tailored to the needs of each client, we can provide RUBS billing for residents without meters, and metered billing for residents with meters. We can even provide RUBS for certain utilities and metered billing for others, for the same resident. If other utility submetering and billing services providers have been unable to provide a flexible Jupiter utility submetering and billing solution that can be customized to your park’s specific needs, give us a call and we’ll design a solution customized to the needs of your mobile home park.

Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Florida
*Where individual metering is not required and master metering is used in lieu thereof, reasonable apportionment methods, including submetering may be used by the customer of record or the owner of such facility solely for the purpose of allocating the cost of the electricity billed by the utility. The term “cost” as used herein means only those charges specifically authorized by the electric utility’s tariff, including but not limited to the customer, energy, demand, fuel, conservation, capacity and environmental charges made by the electric utility plus applicable taxes and fees to the customer of record responsible for the master meter payments.
The term “cost” does not include late payment charges, returned check charges, the cost of the customer-owned distribution system behind the master meter, the customer of record’s cost of billing the individual units, and other such costs. Any fees or charges collected by a customer of record for electricity billed to the customer’s account by the utility, whether based on the use of submetering or any other allocation method, shall be determined in a manner which reimburses the customer of record for no more than the customer’s actual cost of electricity.
Each utility shall develop a standard policy governing the provisions of submetering as provided for herein. Such policy shall be filed by each utility as part of its tariffs. The policy shall have uniform application and shall be nondiscriminatory (Fla. Administrative Code §25-6.049).
