Our Oro Valley utility submetering and billing services are built to adapt to each client’s goals, property configuration, and management preferences. By customizing both submetering and billing processes, we help improve billing accuracy, simplify day-to-day administration, and support more effective utility cost recovery. The following sections highlight how our utility submetering and billing solutions are tailored to meet the unique requirements of the diverse property types we proudly serve.
Multifamily
Submetering & Billing
Oates Energy was founded by utility submetering professionals who understood that every property has unique operational requirements. Even communities with similar layouts often differ in management practices, resident expectations, lease structures, and billing procedures. That understanding has shaped our approach to Oro Valley utility submetering and billing, allowing us to provide flexible solutions that can be tailored to the specific needs of each property instead of relying on rigid, standardized service models.
Our Oro Valley utility submetering and billing services are designed to give property owners and managers the flexibility to select only the services they need while customizing how those services are delivered. This adaptable approach improves operational efficiency, enhances billing accuracy, and supports effective utility cost recovery. Contact Oates Energy to learn how we can develop a utility submetering and billing solution specifically tailored to the way your community operates.
Condominium Utility
Submetering & Billing
Condominium associations, homeowner associations, and professional property managers rely on Oates Energy for flexible Oro Valley utility submetering and billing solutions designed around the unique needs of each community. Drawing on decades of utility submetering experience, we recognize that every condominium operates differently. Our clients decide how utility usage is collected, whether through remote-read technology or traditional meter readings, while also choosing which utilities, recurring fees, or other charges appear on resident billing statements.
Our Oro Valley utility submetering and billing services can also include U.S.-based customer support for communities that want professional assistance responding to resident billing questions and account concerns. By allowing clients to customize the services they receive, we help reduce administrative demands, improve billing accuracy, and support transparent utility cost recovery. Contact Oates Energy to discuss a utility submetering and billing solution tailored to the way your condominium community operates.
Mobile Home Park
Submetering & Billing
Mobile home parks often have unique utility infrastructure that requires a more customized approach than other property types. Oates Energy has extensive experience providing Oro Valley utility submetering and billing solutions for communities with older direct-read meters, mixed utility configurations, or inconsistent metering from one home to the next. We also work with properties that are planning to implement utility submetering for the first time and need guidance selecting the most practical solution.
Our Oro Valley utility submetering and billing services are designed to work with each property’s existing infrastructure whenever possible while supporting accurate resident billing and improved utility cost recovery. We tailor every solution to the operational needs of the community rather than requiring a standardized service model. Contact Oates Energy to discuss a utility submetering and billing program designed specifically for your mobile home park.

Commercial property owners choose Oates Energy for Oro Valley utility submetering and billing solutions that are designed to fit the way their properties operate. With decades of utility submetering experience, we understand that commercial buildings often have different tenant mixes, lease agreements, and utility allocation requirements. Rather than relying on a standardized program, we tailor our services to support each property’s operational needs while helping improve utility cost recovery and billing accuracy.
Our Oro Valley utility submetering and billing services include submetering system installation, equipment upgrades, ongoing maintenance, and fully customizable resident and tenant billing programs. Every solution is developed around the property’s existing infrastructure, management preferences, and financial objectives.

Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Arizona
*The Arizona Corporation Commission’s Rules on Water requires all water delivered by a regulated water utility to be billed on the basis of metered volume sales. Arizona’s regulations allow the utility to provide a fixed charge schedule for temporary service where water use can be readily estimated; public and private fire protection; water used for street sprinkling and sewer flushing under certain circumstances; and other fixed charge schedules approved by the commission (Ariz. Admin. Code, title 14, art. 4 §R14-2-408).
*A landlord may charge separately for gas, water, wastewater, solid waste removal or electricity by installing a submetering system or by allocating the charges separately through a ratio utility billing system.
If a landlord charges separately for a utility, the landlord may recover the charges imposed on the landlord by the utility provider plus an administrative fee for the landlord for actual administrative costs only. The landlord shall not impose any additional charges. The rental agreement shall contain a disclosure that lists the utility services that are charged separately and shall specify the amount of any administrative fee that is associated with submetering or the use of a ratio utility billing system (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §33-1314.01).
*The landlord may charge an administrative fee for the landlord’s actual administrative costs. Any monthly administrative fee shall not exceed the greater of the landlord’s actual administrative costs or 10 percent of the monthly charges by the utility provider in the aggregate to the landlord. The landlord shall not impose any other additional charges.
If the landlord arranges for utility billings to be handled by a third party, the utility billings shall instead include the actual and reasonable cost charged by the third party for the service. Those third party charges shall not exceed ten per cent of the monthly charges by the utility provider for that utility in the aggregate to the landlord. For the purposes of this paragraph, “administrative costs” includes the direct actual costs to the landlord of billing for utilities, including the cost of staff time to calculate and mail the bills, postage and stationery (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §33-2107).
