Submetering and Billing
Oates Energy has become a leading North Miami utility submetering and billing services provider for Water, Electric and Gas. And one of the key reasons why is because we do not “package” or “bundle” our services! Instead we allow property managers to select only the services they would like us to provide and then help them adjust the services they selected to address their specific needs and preferences. Completely customizable solutions.
We offer industry leading billing solutions that integrate with all major property management software brands, Ratio Billing Services, (RUBS) for properties that do not have utility submeters, and a U.S. based resident billing customer care. We also install new utility submetering systems for new construction projects. Below is a closer look at our services and how we provide them for a few of our key markets.

Mobile Home Park
Submetering & Billing
Mobile home park utility submetering and billing needs are often unique to each park. However, it is common for parks to have older utility submetering equipment or none at all. When desired, we install new, remote read submetering systems. For parks that prefer not to update or add new submetering equipment, we help them implement a “RUBS”, (Ratio Utility Billing System) formula to recover utility costs.
We can also take over billing responsibilities for other monthly charges and fees the park bills its residents for. Our customizable utility submetering and billing solutions can be adjusted for almost any requirement. Call us about a customized North Miami utility submetering and billing solution designed to recover more of your park’s utility costs!

Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Florida
*Where individual metering is not required and master metering is used in lieu thereof, reasonable apportionment methods, including submetering may be used by the customer of record or the owner of such facility solely for the purpose of allocating the cost of the electricity billed by the utility. The term “cost” as used herein means only those charges specifically authorized by the electric utility’s tariff, including but not limited to the customer, energy, demand, fuel, conservation, capacity and environmental charges made by the electric utility plus applicable taxes and fees to the customer of record responsible for the master meter payments.
The term “cost” does not include late payment charges, returned check charges, the cost of the customer-owned distribution system behind the master meter, the customer of record’s cost of billing the individual units, and other such costs. Any fees or charges collected by a customer of record for electricity billed to the customer’s account by the utility, whether based on the use of submetering or any other allocation method, shall be determined in a manner which reimburses the customer of record for no more than the customer’s actual cost of electricity.
Each utility shall develop a standard policy governing the provisions of submetering as provided for herein. Such policy shall be filed by each utility as part of its tariffs. The policy shall have uniform application and shall be nondiscriminatory (Fla. Administrative Code §25-6.049).
