Providence Utility Submetering and Billing

Multifamily communities can have hundreds of residences that must be billed for their utility usage in one way or another in order for the community to recover its utility costs. In many cases, communities also bill residents for other services and fees such as cable TV, phone and Internet, even garage and pet fees. Managing utility submetering and the billing of utilities and other charges and fees associated to a larger multifamily property can be a daunting monthly task that takes property managers away from managing other aspects of their properties.

Oates Energy specializes in handling this huge responsibility for thousands of multifamily communities across the country. We install or update existing submetering systems to accurately monitor resident utility usage. Or, for communities who do not use submeters, we use Ratio Utility Billing Systems, (RUBS) to bill residences for utilities. We can also include any other monthly charges or fees the community would like us to bill for.

Tenants of commercial properties often have significantly different utility requirements. A small retail store requires a fraction of the electricity needed for a large grocery store. And a restaurant will use much more water than say, a nail salon. When commercial properties do not have utility submetering in place, it is very common for them to include utilities as a portion of the monthly lease rates. The downside of this however is that it can cause the advertised lease rates to be higher and less competitive than neighboring commercial properties who submeter tenant utility usage and recover utility costs separately. Contact us to discuss a customized utility submetering and or billing solution for your commercial property.

With today’s utility costs, it has become very common for all types of multifamily development projects to include utility submetering.
