Apartment Submetering and Utility Billing:
Effective Utility Management for Multifamily Properties
Submetering allows apartment owners and managers to allocate utility costs based on actual usage, ensuring tenants are only charged for what they consume. It’s an effective way to manage utility costs, reduce waste, and promote fairness, but it comes with its own set of challenges. From installation complexities in older buildings to compliance with local regulations, here’s how Guardian solves these common issues, making submetering easy and effective for every property.

Installing submeters in older properties with outdated infrastructure can be challenging. Guardian's national team of experienced project managers, plumbers, and electricians can handle installations in any building type, ensuring minimal disruption and a seamless setup process.
