Coconut Creek Utility Submetering and Billing

Oates Energy provides Coconut Creek utility submetering and billing for Water, Electric and Gas in ways that other providers are simply unable to match. We are able to repair and upgrade existing utility submetering systems or install new systems. And our fully customizable billing solutions can be tailored to virtually any need. We are truly unique in our industry. Below is a closer look at how we support a few of our key markets.
Utility Submetering & Billing
for Multifamily Communities
One of the biggest monthly responsibilities for property managers is their monthly billing for utilities and other services and fees such as cable TV, phone, Internet, even garage and pet fees. And assuring that utility costs are accurately recovered along with their other monthly charges and fees can be a timely and complicated monthly task.
We specialize in customized billing solutions for this huge responsibility. We help our property managers choose only the services they would like us to provide, and then they tell us how they would like us to provide the services they selected so we can adjust them to their exact needs and preferences. We don’t ask our property managers to choose a package or bundle of services that is “closest” to their actual needs or to pay for services they don’t want or need. Contact us to build the perfect Coconut Creek utility submetering and billing solution for your community.
Utility Submetering & Billing
for Condominium Communities
Most condominium community property managers who have looked into using a Coconut Creek utility submetering and billing provider have a hard time finding a good fit for their specific needs and preferences. At Oates energy we understand the unique needs of condo property managers. In fact, we built our entire company around the idea of allowing property managers to selected the individual submetering and billing services they want and need. And then to go the extra mile by allowing the services they selected to be adjusted to their specific needs. We customize solutions for very basic needs all the way up to large complex solutions. How would you like us to help you recover more of your community’s utility costs?
Utility Submetering & Billing
for Mobile Home Parks
We can be the perfect solution for mobile home parks. We help parks that wish to install remote read submetering systems and we provide meter reading services for parks with direct-read submeters. And for parks that do not wish to repair or add new utility submeters, we provide billing “RUBS”, (Ratio Utility Billing System) that can be adjusted to each property manager’s preference. We also provide resident billing customer care. And we can do all of this for parks with as few as 50 residences. How would you like us to help you recover more of your park’s utility costs!
Utility Submetering & Billing
for Commercial Properties
Commercial properties that do not have utility submeters often recover their utility costs by combining utility charges in various ways with monthly lease rates. But this method of recovery has a downside by making advertised lease rates appear less competitive. We design Coconut Creek utility submetering and billing solutions that allow commercial properties to separate lease rates from utility charges and recover more of their utility costs. And we can customize solutions with or without utility submeters. Contact us to discuss a customized solution designed to recover more of your 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).
