NES reads the meters, sends the bills, and collects from residents for you.

Quick answer

What does a submetering billing service do?

A submetering billing service turns meter readings into accurate utility bills and collects payment from residents, so your staff does not have to. NES reads meters wirelessly each day, calculates each unit's charge, sends bills, and collects payment. An in-house, bilingual support team answers questions from your managers and residents quickly. NES can also supply the metering equipment and wireless repeaters if you need them. When you compare billing partners, weigh history, upfront pricing, equipment warranties, support quality, and software integrations. The full checklist is on our comparing companies page. NES has done this for multifamily owners since 1968 across more than 43 states, focused on properties with 80 or more units.

What NES handles for you

  • Daily wireless meter reads.
  • Accurate per-unit bill calculation.
  • Bill delivery and payment collection.
  • In-house support for managers and residents.

No. The total billed to residents never exceeds the master-meter cost, so billing stays fair and defensible.
