Who installs and reads the meters?

NES does, in-house. Our own technicians install the meters, readings land in the NES platform every day, and our bilingual team runs resident billing, disputes, and support. There are no subcontractors.

How much can submetering save?

When residents pay for what they use, water consumption usually drops 15 to 30 percent and the owner stops absorbing the master-meter bill. Most installs pay for themselves in 12 to 18 months. NES will run the numbers on your actual property and send a no-obligation estimate.

What types of property can be submetered?

All types. NES serves new construction and existing properties, those with meters already in place and those that need equipment, and specializes in properties with 80 or more multifamily units, including apartment communities, condominiums, townhomes, and mobile home parks.

Quick answer

What does submetering software do?

Submetering software turns raw meter readings into two things: usage data for the property and bills for residents. On the owner side, the NES platform shows daily usage by unit, so managers can spot a leak, a spike, or a high-use unit without walking the property. On the resident side, it produces clear, itemized bills and an online portal where residents view charges, pay, and set up free autopay. The platform connects to major property management systems, including Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, MRI, ResMan, and Rent Manager, so charges flow into your rent roll without manual entry. It is included whenever NES handles billing at your property. Ask for a demo to see it with your own numbers.

Daily data for owners

The NES platform gives owners and managers daily usage data by unit, so they can identify inefficiencies and make informed decisions about water management. Billing residents for their usage also reduces the property's expense, since residents are now responsible for what they consume.
