Utility Submetering and Billing

If you manage a large multifamily property and have experience with utility submetering and billing service providers, you’re likely familiar with the typical process. Most providers offer a limited selection of “plans” or “bundles” of services—none of which fully meet your unique requirements. As a result, you’re forced to shop around for the option that comes closest to your needs and budget. Even after selecting a provider, you face the challenge of notifying residents about billing changes and adjusting your internal operations to fit the provider’s system—not the other way around. If this scenario sounds all too familiar, Oates Energy may be the better option you’ve been searching for.

Now, imagine having the freedom to choose only the utility submetering and billing services you truly need—then customizing how those services are delivered to perfectly align with your property’s unique needs. It may sound too good to be true, but at Oates Energy, this is how we operate every day for communities across the country. And we can do it for you too.

We help condominium communities promote conservation and recover a greater share of their utility costs, enabling them to keep HOA fees as low as possible. In communities without utility submeters, it’s common to bundle utility charges into condo fees. However, this approach has significant drawbacks. It fails to accurately and fairly distribute utility costs, does little to encourage conservation, and often requires monthly adjustments to fully recover expenses.

Utility submetering is the most precise and effective method for recovering utility costs. For communities where submetering isn’t feasible, a RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) formula is the next best option. This system allocates costs based on factors like the number of residents, number of bathrooms, and other key variables, providing a more equitable distribution of utility charges.

At Oates Energy, we go beyond billing by customizing solutions to match your community’s unique policies and preferences. Our dedicated billing customer care team is also available to assist residents with questions and concerns, ensuring a seamless experience for property managers and residents alike.
