Wildwood
Utility Submetering and Billing

Multifamily property managers who have worked with utility billing providers are often familiar with predetermined service packages. The challenge is that a standard package rarely matches everything a community actually needs. It may include unnecessary services while requiring management to change established billing procedures or adapt operations to the provider’s system. Our approach to Wildwood utility submetering and billing reverses that process by adapting our services to the community rather than requiring the community to adapt to us.

Oates Energy allows multifamily property managers to select the individual services they want and then customize how those services are provided. Your Wildwood utility submetering and billing program can be structured around existing procedures, resident needs, management preferences, and utility cost recovery goals. Whether you need comprehensive submetering and billing or only specific services, we can build a program around your requirements. Contact us to discuss what an individually tailored solution could look like for your community.

Condominium associations often include utilities in monthly assessments when individual residences are not submetered, but this approach provides little connection between what residents consume and what they pay. It can also make utility cost recovery more difficult when expenses fluctuate. A customized Wildwood utility submetering and billing program can give associations a more structured way to allocate these expenses while encouraging residents to be more mindful of their water, electric, or gas consumption.

Individual submetering provides actual usage data that can be used to bill residents for measured consumption. When submeters are not available or practical, Oates Energy can develop a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) using appropriate factors such as occupancy or other property characteristics. Our Wildwood utility submetering and billing services can also include customized resident billing and U.S.-based customer care that follows your association’s established policies.

Mobile home parks can present unusual utility management challenges, particularly when a community has expanded over time and includes a mixture of metered and non-metered residences. Oates Energy develops Wildwood utility submetering and billing programs around the park’s existing infrastructure rather than requiring every residence to fit the same billing model. Parks can select only the services they need, and we adjust those services to match their operational requirements and management preferences.

We can design and install new submetering systems, provide meter reading for existing direct-read submeters, and bill residents according to actual measured usage. For utilities that are not individually metered, our Wildwood utility submetering and billing services can include a customized Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) where appropriate. We can also incorporate other recurring charges and fees into resident billing. Contact Oates Energy to discuss a practical solution designed to improve utility cost recovery while simplifying administration for your park.

Commercial properties rarely have uniform utility requirements across every tenant. A property may include small retailers, restaurants, grocery stores, professional offices, or light manufacturing businesses, each with very different water, electric, and gas consumption. Lease agreements may also establish different methods for allocating utility expenses. Our Wildwood utility submetering and billing solutions can be configured around these differences, giving property managers a more accurate and manageable way to track usage and recover utility costs.

Oates Energy can install or upgrade submetering systems, provide meter reading, and customize tenant billing around your property’s established policies and lease requirements. With Wildwood utility submetering and billing, commercial property managers can select only the services they need and determine how those services should be provided. Contact us to discuss a customized solution designed around your tenant mix, property operations, and utility cost recovery requirements.
