Gas Submetering
Customized Gas Submetering Solutions for Apartment and Condominium Communities, Mobile Home Parks and Commercial Properties.
If your multifamily community is not submetering residents for gas usage and billing for individual usage, you may be missing out in a number of ways. You already know that your gas utility cost is one of your largest monthly expenses, and you would probably agree that billing based on usage encourages conservation, but are you aware of just how much residents conserve when they can control their own utility costs? Our data over the past 20+ years shows that the gas consumption of an average sized multifamily community, (200-400 Units)Â drops by about 20-30% when gas submetering is implemented. In some cases, gas consumption was reduced by over 40%.
Giving residents control of their utility costs always leads to substantial benefits for the property and for the residents:
- Every property we have installed gas submeters for has shown a decrease in overall gas consumption and costs.
- We are able to accurately bill for usage and recover costs, which results in increased revenue for customers.
- Residents are able to directly see and control their utility usage, and therefore control their own costs!
- Fewer residents questioning the accuracy of their billing because it is based on usage.
- Oates Energy can customize a gas utility billing solution or even a converged billing solution.
- Oates Energy can handle all resident billing questions and concerns, allowing you to focus on managing your property. Submetering is a great solution to reduce overall gas utility costs, promote conservation and give your residents the control they desire. Speak to us about gas submetering and billing for your community, and how we can customize a gas utility billing solution specifically designed to your exact needs and preferences.

The Benefits of Gas Submetering
Gas submetering is a benefit to property managers and residents alike. Property managers benefit by recovering more of their utility costs and streamlining monthly utility billing. Property managers also benefit by having a documented record of usage that can be referred to in the event of a resident or tenant question about billing.
Residents and tenants benefit by being billed based on their actual usage rather than a fixed monthly charge or by being billed for gas based on a RUBS formula that estimates usage and is also usually a fixed monthly cost that they cannot reduce by being conservative. Residents and tenants who are billed for actual usage are much more conservative than those who are not. They would much rather have a lower gas bill and more money in their pocket than leaving the heat on high when they are at work or on vacation. And they know that being wasteful with gas will only result in a higher bill.
Submetering gas usage and billing residents and tenants for actual usage and encouraging conservation is a win-win situation for both property managers and the residents and tenants.

Support for Communities and Properties with Existing Gas Submetering Systems
We help multifamily communities and commercial properties that already have gas submetering systems in place transition to Oates Energy. We inspect their existing gas submetering system to assess the operational condition of the entire system and make recommendations on repairs and possible upgrades that might improve accuracy and improve operational efficiency. We also consult with each new client about their specific needs and preferences on how they would like us to help them manage their submetering equipment. If any equipment needs to be replaced or if they would like to upgrade their existing system, we provide a detailed quote and completely handle all aspects of any repairs or upgrades.

Gas Submetering System Installation Services
We also help multifamily communities, condominium associations, mobile home parks and commercial properties that do not have a gas submetering system. When we begin to work with a property manager or owner who is interested in possibly adding a gas submetering system, we visit their community or property and perform a free site survey to gather the information that will be needed in order to customize a gas submetering solution designed specifically for their needs and preferences.
If the multifamily community or commercial property chooses to move forward and have us install a new gas submetering system, we will source all of the necessary equipment and permits, and our experienced installation technicians will coordinate with the property manager and fully install and configure the new system to begin tracking and reporting each resident or tenant’s usage. We handle the entire process.
