Gas Submetering
Customized Gas Submetering Solutions for Apartment and Condominium Communities, Mobile Home Parks and Commercial Properties.
If your multifamily community is not currently using gas submetering to bill residents based on individual usage, you could be missing out on significant cost savings and operational benefits. Gas is often one of the largest utility expenses for multifamily communities. And without gas submetering, it’s difficult to manage or recover those costs effectively. While many property managers understand that billing based on actual usage promotes conservation, the impact may be greater than they realize. Our data from over two decades of experience shows that gas consumption in typical multifamily communities of 200 to 400 units drops by an average of 20% to 30% after implementing gas submetering, and in some cases, reductions have exceeded 40%.
Allowing residents to take control of their gas utility usage results in measurable benefits for both the community and its residents. Every property where we’ve installed gas submeters has experienced a noticeable decrease in overall consumption and monthly gas costs. Property owners and managers gain the ability to accurately recover gas utility expenses through precise usage-based billing, resulting in improved revenue and fewer budget shortfalls. Residents, in turn, appreciate the transparency and control over their monthly gas utility bills. When they see a direct correlation between their usage and their charges, they are far more likely to adopt energy-efficient habits, leading to ongoing savings.
Another key advantage of gas submetering is the reduction in billing disputes. Because charges are based on actual usage rather than estimates or allocations, residents are less likely to question their bills. At Oates Energy, we further streamline the process by managing all resident billing inquiries on your behalf using your unique billing policies and guidelines. This gives you and your staff more time to focus on other important aspects of managing your community.
Whether you’re interested in implementing a standalone gas submetering solution or integrating it into a converged billing solution that includes multiple utilities or even other monthly charges and fees, Oates Energy can customize a billing solution to meet your exact needs. Contact us today at (800) 717-9811 to schedule a free consultation and learn how we can help you reduce utility costs, promote conservation, and give your residents the control they want.

The Benefits of Gas Submetering
Gas submetering offers meaningful advantages for both property managers and residents and creates a more equitable and efficient utility management system. For property managers, the ability to bill residents based on actual gas usage allows for significantly improved cost recovery, often one of the most substantial ongoing operational expenses. It also streamlines the monthly billing process and provides a detailed, documented record of each unit’s consumption, which can be easily referenced in the event of resident inquiries or billing disputes.
Residents and tenants also benefit by gaining greater control over their utility expenses. Rather than paying a flat monthly fee or being charged under a RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) formula that estimates usage based on factors like square footage or occupancy, submetering ensures they are billed for their actual consumption. This motivates more mindful behavior, such as lowering the heat when away from home or making other conservation-minded choices. When residents know their gas usage directly affects their bill, they are far more likely to take steps to reduce waste and save money.
By accurately tracking gas usage and encouraging conservation, gas submetering leads to a noticeable reduction in overall consumption while ensuring fairness in billing. It’s a win-win solution. Property managers benefit from better cost control and operational efficiency, while residents enjoy transparency, accountability, and the opportunity to lower their monthly utility expenses.
