Submetering Data
Last reviewed September 2026NES Editorial, checked by the Billing & Compliance team
NES captures, stores, and processes your meter data so your team does not have to.
How is submetering data captured and used?
When you partner with NES, we handle the data from start to finish. NES captures readings wirelessly from each meter every day, stores them, and processes them into accurate utility bills that go out to your residents. You do not collect readings or run the math yourself, which is what makes NES a done-for-you solution. The daily data does more than produce bills. It powers MyReads, our leak detection tool, which flags unusual usage so problems get caught early. Owners and managers can review usage and billing through the online portal, and the data connects to property management systems like Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, MRI, ResMan, and Rent Manager. NES has handled submetering data for multifamily owners since 1968 across more than 43 states, focused on properties with 80 or more units.
Captured, stored, and processed for you
NES owns the full data process. Readings come in wirelessly each day, get stored securely, and are processed into bills that NES emails to your residents. Your team is not collecting numbers or building bills by hand, which is why owners describe the service as done-for-you.
What the data does
- Produces accurate per-unit utility bills.
