Utility Submetering and Billing

Oates Energy was founded on an idea that is unique in our industry. The goal of our founders was to create a utility submetering and billing services company that was organized and capable from the ground up to be “adjustable” so that all of our services could be tailored to address the unique needs and preferences of each client. From submetering system design and installation, whether utilities are billed based on actual usage or based on a RUBS formula, to which utilities and charges we bill residents for and how often, to our U.S. based billing customer care for residents. All of our services are designed to be fully customizable. Tell us how you would like us to recover more of your utility costs.

We also customize our services for condominium communities and their property managers preferences in the same ways that we do for multifamily communities. But where multifamily communities are focused on ROI, condominium communities are interested in allocating utility costs fairly and keeping their HOA fees as low as possible. We help condominium communities recover more utility costs by allowing them to choose only the services the want and need and then we adjust them to how the community would like them to be provided. Flexibility that is unique in our industry; truly customized solutions designed to encourage conservation and fairly recover utility costs based on usage or on a RUBS formula.

Utility submetering and billing preferences can very greatly in mobile home parks. And this makes Oates Energy a great option for them. We assist mobile home parks with any submetering equipment requirements if they prefer to submeter utilities. And for parks that prefer not to add new submetering or have some residents that do not have submeters, we customize a “RUBS”, (Ratio Utility Billing System) formula based on the parks criteria. From submetering equipment to our full suite of utility billing services, we customize solutions that recover utility costs and encourage conservation for parks with as few as fifty residences. Speak with us about a solution for your park.

Unlike the average residential community, commercial property tenant utility requirements are often very different from tenant to tenant. For example, a large grocery store will require much more electricity than a small jewelry store. And many commercial properties that do not submeter tenants attempt to recover utility costs based on the square foot leased. In addition to making lease rates less competitive, calculating each tenants utility charges each month may not fully recover utility costs. We design, install and repair submetering equipment and systems that accurately record utility usage, and accurately bill tenants based on usage using billing policies defined by you! Contact us to discuss a customized utility submetering and billing solution for your commercial property.
