Managing utility costs in multifamily properties can be challenging. As property owners look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce expenses, submetering has become a proven solution. At National Utility Group, we help property owners unlock savings and promote energy efficiency through smart utility solutions like submetering.
What Is Submetering?
Submetering involves installing individual meters for each unit in a multifamily property. Unlike a master meter that calculates overall usage, submeters track utility consumption per unit. This system allows property owners to accurately measure tenant usage, ensuring fair billing while identifying potential inefficiencies.
Lower Utility Costs Through Fair Billing
With submetering, tenants are responsible for their individual consumption. This encourages mindful energy use, often resulting in reduced overall utility costs for the property. By holding tenants accountable for their usage, property owners can eliminate the guesswork of evenly dividing utility bills, which often leads to overpayment.
Identifying and Addressing Inefficiencies
Submetering systems provide valuable insights into energy and water consumption. By monitoring usage trends, property owners can quickly identify anomalies like leaks, inefficient appliances, or excessive energy use. Early detection of these issues allows for prompt maintenance, preventing costly utility waste.
Encouraging Energy-Saving Habits
When tenants are aware of their individual consumption, they tend to adopt energy-saving habits. Submetering naturally encourages behaviors such as turning off lights, reducing heating and cooling usage, and being mindful of water consumption. Over time, these changes significantly reduce utility costs for the entire property.
Submetering is a powerful tool for property owners seeking to reduce utility costs, promote energy efficiency, and create a fair billing system. At National Utility Group, we specialize in providing smart utility solutions designed to help multifamily properties thrive.
