Richfield
Utility Submetering and Billing

Multifamily communities make up the largest portion of our client base, largely because of the flexibility we offer. Our approach to Richfield utility submetering and billing allows property managers to select the specific services their communities need and customize how those services are provided. Rather than requiring bundled packages that may include unnecessary services, we build each program around the property’s individual requirements, management preferences, and utility cost recovery goals.

If you are considering Richfield utility submetering and billing for your multifamily community, Oates Energy can develop a solution tailored specifically to your property. Our goal is to improve billing accuracy, simplify utility administration, and help recover more of your community’s utility costs while giving you greater control over the services you receive. Contact us to discuss a practical, cost-effective solution designed around your community.

Condominium communities can have very different utility management requirements than large multifamily portfolios, making flexibility especially important when choosing a Richfield utility submetering and billing provider. Standardized service packages may include options a community does not need while failing to address the specific requirements of its homeowners association, property management team, or residents. Oates Energy provides a more flexible approach built around the individual needs of each condominium community.

With Richfield utility submetering and billing, your community can select only the services it needs from our full range of options. We then customize how those services are provided to match your operational requirements and management preferences. The result is a tailored solution that can improve billing accuracy, encourage responsible utility consumption, give residents greater visibility into their usage, and help your condominium community recover more of its utility costs.

Mobile home parks often have complex utility management needs, particularly communities that have expanded or changed over time. Our flexible approach to Richfield utility submetering and billing can accommodate parks with a combination of metered and non-metered homes, different types of utility meters, and other billing challenges. Oates Energy works with mobile home communities of various sizes, including parks with as few as 50 residences, to develop practical solutions around their existing infrastructure and utility cost recovery needs.

As part of a customized Richfield utility submetering and billing program, we can design and install new submetering systems, upgrade existing systems, or provide meter reading services for direct-read meters. For homes without individual submeters, we can implement an appropriate Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS). Whether your park needs comprehensive submetering and billing, billing-only services, or a combination of services, we tailor the program around your property’s specific requirements and management preferences.

Commercial properties, from retail centers and office complexes to shopping malls and industrial parks, can have tenants with dramatically different utility usage and billing requirements. Our Richfield utility submetering and billing solutions are designed to accommodate these differences while helping property managers accurately allocate and recover water, electric, and gas utility costs. Individual submetering provides reliable usage data, making it easier to bill tenants according to their actual consumption when appropriate.

Oates Energy develops customized Richfield utility submetering and billing programs around the specific requirements of each commercial property and the preferences of its management team. Clients can select only the services they need, and we customize how those services are provided to support accurate billing, efficient cost recovery, and streamlined administration. Contact us to discuss a practical, cost-effective solution designed around the tenants, operations, and utility management requirements of your commercial property.

Again, but don’t optimize: With utilities often representing one of the largest monthly expenses for multifamily communities and commercial properties, utility submetering has become a standard feature in most new construction projects. Including submetering systems in project plans allows for more accurate tracking and fair allocation of utility costs, helping property owners manage expenses more effectively.

As a national provider, Oates Energy partners with general contractors across the country to install water, electric, and gas utility submetering systems. Our team is known for strong jobsite safety practices and precise installations that meet inspection requirements. If your upcoming project includes utility submetering, we would be happy to provide a detailed and competitive bid tailored to your plans.
