Sanford Utility Submetering and Billing
for Water, Electric and Gas
Oates Energy provides Sanford utility submetering and billing services for Water, Electric and Gas utilities. While most of our competitors offer a fixed set of services that are provided to all of their clients the same way. We have chosen a different path. Our utility submetering and billing solutions are custom designed for each property manager. We provide only the services they select and then customize and adjust how we provide the services they selected.
At Oates Energy, our approach is unique in our industry. We understand that each community and property manager has specific preferences on how they recover utility costs. So we created a detailed suite of utility submetering and billing services that can custom tailored to each property manager’s needs and preferences. Below is a closer look at how we support our key markets.

Utility Submetering & Billing
for Condominium Communities
Condominium property managers have a duty to their residents to keep HOA fees and condo fees as low as possible. And one of the key ways to control costs is effectively recovering the community’s utility costs and encouraging conservation. Oates Energy can help in a couple of different ways.
We can install a remote-read water submetering system that will track each residence’s actual usage. We can then use that data to bill residents accurately based on their usage. If you do not wish to install individual submeters, we can provide billing for any utility based on a RUBS formula. Either option will encourage conservation, separate utility costs from monthly condo or HOA fees and recover more of your utility costs. Contact us to discuss a customized Sanford utility submetering and billing solution for your community or building.
Utility Submetering & Billing
for Mobile Home Parks
Oates Energy is well suited for mobile home parks. We help parks with existing utility submetering systems and also customize solutions for parks and residences that do not have utility submeters. For residents without meters, we can customize a “RUBS”, (Ratio Utility Billing System) to recover utility costs. We can even provide meter reading services for parks with direct read submeters.
We design customized Sanford utility submetering and billing solutions for almost any scenario. And we can do it for parks with as few as 50 residences. Contact us to craft a solution that will help your mobile home park recover more of its utility costs!

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).
