Portage
Utility Submetering and Billing

For multifamily property managers, controlling operating expenses is an important part of protecting Net Operating Income (NOI), and rising utility costs can have a significant impact on a property’s financial performance. Oates Energy specializes in helping multifamily communities recover utility expenses through accurate submetering, usage tracking and customized resident billing solutions. When individual utility submeters are not available or practical, we can also develop alternative billing programs that provide an effective way to allocate utility costs among residents.

One of the greatest advantages of our Portage utility submetering and billing services is the flexibility to structure them around the specific needs of each community. We can customize everything from the utilities and other recurring property charges included on monthly bills to the policies our U.S.-based resident billing customer care team follows when assisting residents. Rather than requiring a predetermined package of services, we tailor our Portage utility submetering and billing solutions to your property, residents and management preferences. Contact us to discuss a customized solution for your multifamily community.

Condominium property managers choose Oates Energy for the flexibility to build a utility billing program around the specific needs of their communities. Our Portage utility submetering and billing services include customized billing for individually metered utilities and Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS) for communities without submeters. We can also include other recurring community charges and fees on monthly resident bills, while our U.S.-based billing customer care team provides knowledgeable support to residents. If your condominium community needs a more accurate, efficient way to allocate and recover utility costs, contact Oates Energy to discuss a customized Portage utility submetering and billing solution tailored to your property.

Mobile home parks choose Oates Energy because our services can be tailored to the unique requirements of each property. Our Portage utility submetering and billing solutions allow park owners and managers to select only the services they need, from installing or upgrading utility submetering systems to customized resident billing and support. For properties with traditional direct-read submeters, we can also provide meter reading services as part of a complete billing solution. Whether you need help improving an existing system or developing a better approach to utility cost recovery, Oates Energy can customize our Portage utility submetering and billing services to help your mobile home park accurately track usage and recover more of its utility expenses.

Commercial retail properties and industrial parks often have tenants with very different utility requirements, ranging from small businesses and manufacturing operations to restaurants and large grocery stores. Lease terms can also vary, creating different requirements for how utilities, fees and other property charges are allocated and billed. Oates Energy can customize a Portage utility submetering and billing solution around these differences, including the utilities and recurring charges billed to each tenant and the specific requirements of individual lease agreements. Whether you need submetering, tenant billing or a combination of services, we can tailor our Portage utility submetering and billing services to your property. Contact us to discuss a customized solution for your commercial property.
