Utility Submetering and Billing

Multifamily communities prefer Oates Energy over our competitors because of our flexibility. Our competitors are typically very large corporations that have organized themselves to provide a fixed set of services that are provided the same way to all of their clients. There are of course differences from company to company but most are unwilling or unable to adjust or customize their services to the unique needs of a particular community. Historically, multifamily communities were left to chose the provider that was the “closest” to meeting their needs.

Our founders saw this as an opportunity and created the first totally “adjustable” utility submetering and billing service provider. From submetering system design and installation, to which utilities and charges we bill residents for, to the policies and guidelines our U.S. based billing customer care uses to support your residents. All of our services were are designed to be customizable so they can be adjusted to the exact needs of every community that partners with us.

At Oates Energy we customize our services for condominium communities in the same ways that we do for multifamily communities. But where multifamily communities are focused on ROI, homeowner associations must focus reducing costs for a different reason; to keep their HOA fees as low as possible a recover utility costs accurately. We help condominium communities choose only the services they wish to use and then adjust them to how the community would like them to be provided. Flexibility that is unique in our industry; truly customized solutions designed to encourage conservation and fairly recover utility costs based on usage.

Tenants of commercial properties utility requirements can vary greatly. A large grocery store will require much more electricity than a small nail salon. Because of this, many older commercial properties did not originally install utility submeters and have for years, attempt to recover utility costs based on the square foot leased. This can be complicated to calculate each month, may not fully recover utility costs. Recovering utility costs this way can also cause advertised lease rates to be less competitive. We design, install and repair submetering systems to accurately monitor utility usage, and we use that data to accurately bill tenants for their usage using billing methods and policies defined by you!
