Chesterfield
Utility Submetering and Billing

If you manage a large multifamily property and have experience with using utility submetering and billing service providers, you are undoubtedly familiar with how they usually operate.

Typically, you are presented with a number of “plans” or “bundles” of services to choose from. None of which accurately fill your true requirements. So you shop different providers to find the “Plan” that is closest to your needs and budget. Then once you select a provider, you are faced with notifying all of your residents about how the way they are billed will be different than what they are use to and also having to adjust how you operate. If this all sounds familiar, you might find Oates Energy to be a better option.

Then adjusting those services however you would like so that they are provided exactly how you need them to be provided.

We help condominium communities encourage conservation and recover more of their utility costs so they can keep HOA fees as low as possible. It is common for condominium communities to add utility charges to condo fees if the community does not have utility submeters.  But this has many downsides. The biggest of which is that it does not accurately and fairly recover utility costs, does not encourage conservation, and may not fully recover all utility costs unless adjusted each month.

Utility submetering is the most accurate way to recover utility cost. The next most accurate way if you do not have or want to use utility submeters  is to use a RUBS formula that is based on factors such as the number of persons living within the residence, the number of bathrooms, etc. We also customize a billing solution based on your policies and preferences and provide billing customer care to help residents with questions and concerns.
