We Make Sub-Metering Boring

Your Sub-Metering company shouldn’t be something you spend much time thinking about. In fact, you shouldn’t think about it much at all. It should simply operate in the background. Quietly. Reliably. Without drawing attention to itself. Uneventful and, well, boring.

Your only contact with your Sub-Metering company should be your monthly bill. And we get it. Nobody wants another bill.

But a good Sub-Metering bill isn’t just another invoice. It’s a tool. For many residents, it’s the first time they’ve ever seen their own energy and water consumption. Instead of paying for utilities through their rent or monthly maintenance fees, they can finally see what they use, what it costs, and understand the impact of their choices.

A good Sub-Metering system is fair to everyone. It ends cross-subsidization, where residents who conserve are subsidizing those who choose to waste. Everyone pays only for what they use.

Property managers benefit too. Previously, there was little they could do to influence in-suite energy and water consumption, even though it often represents the vast majority of a building’s utility usage. With Sub-Metering, residents are now in control of their own consumption. That helps control utility costs and stabilize monthly maintenance fees, allowing property managers to focus on managing their properties instead of worrying about ever-increasing utility costs.

Choosing a Sub-Metering company is an important decision. You’ll likely be working with that company for years, and changing providers isn’t always easy. Some contracts contain shockingly onerous termination provisions, making it even more important to choose wisely.

That’s why it’s so important to choose a company you can trust. Bills have to arrive on time. They have to be accurate. When there’s a question, someone has to answer the phone. When there’s a problem, someone has to solve it.

Unfortunately, I keep hearing from property managers whose experience with their Sub-Metering company has been anything but boring.

Instead, I hear about inaccurate bills, delayed billing, unanswered emails, customer service that never seems to call back, and problems that drag on for months or even years. I’ve spoken with property managers who have spent a year, even two years, trying to get those problems resolved.

That’s the opposite of boring. That’s way more excitement than any property manager needs.

That type of Sub-Metering service isn’t acceptable to us. No, we won’t always be perfect. But if there is an issue, we’ll own the problem and work to resolve it as quickly as possible, so your Sub-Metering can go back to being boring.

At Alliance Metering, we’ve made Sub-Metering boring by combining in-house engineering and customer service teams, a true utility billing system, and more than 110 years of utility experience.

That’s how we make your Sub-Metering work so well that you won’t have to think about it. Bills arrive on time. They’re accurate. Questions get answered. Problems get solved. If there’s an issue, you can reach a real person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If we do our job well, Sub-Metering simply fades into the background. It becomes one less thing on your desk. One less phone call to return. One less problem to solve.

That’s why, at Alliance Metering Solutions, we make Sub-Metering boring.
