Utility Submetering and Billing

Multifamily apartment communities benefit greatly with our ability to adjust which services we provide and then customize how they are provided to address their respective needs and preferences. Our entire business model was built on total flexibility and giving each client the ability to select only the services they want and need. Our multifamily communities never have to pay for services they do not want or need. If you are considering Iowa City utility submetering and billing options, consider a fully customized utility submetering and billing solution for your community.

While multifamily communities are focused on ROI, condominium community homeowner associations and property managers are interested in controlling costs to keep their monthly condo fees and HOA fees as fair and equitable as possible. And encouraging conservation by submetering utilities and billing for actual usage is without question the most effective and fair way to recover utility costs.

At Oates Energy, we make recovering utility costs simple. You choose the submetering and or billing services you would like us to provide, and then tell us how you would like us to provide them.  We will help you assemble the most cost effective options for your needs, but which services you choose to use and how we provide those services is entirely up to you. Truly customized solutions designed to address your exact needs! Contact us about a customized solution for your community.

If you manage a mobile home park, you probably already know what a complicated task recovering utility costs can be. It often involves hours of bookkeeping and billing, meter reading and handling resident billing questions. And finding a Iowa City utility submetering and billing solution that can handle the challenges that can exist with established mobile home parks can be difficult.

Oates Energy specializes in these types of situations. Our services and how they are provided can be selected individually and adjusted to how you need them provided. We can bill residents who have meters based on actual usage and those who do not can be billed using a ratio utility billing solution, (RUBS) formula. We can even provide meter reading if your park has direct read meters. Contact us to discuss a customized solution for your park and start recovering more of your park’s utility costs!

We offer commercial properties highly flexible solutions for recovering utility costs accurately and fairly. Our submetering solutions accurately track utility usage of each tenant regardless of how large or how small their requirements are. But the services our commercial properties benefit the most from is the fact that we do not pre-package a fixed set of services or have “Plans”. We help our client recover more of their utility costs using only the services that they have chosen, and that we have adjusted to the way they need them to be provided. Contact us to discuss a customized utility submetering and or billing solution for your commercial property.
