What is utility submetering?

Submetering is the process of installing individual meters in master-metered multi-unit rental property. Utility costs are then distributed to each resident based an actual usage as measured by the individual meters. These individual meters are commonly referred to as “submeters” because they are installed after the master meter.

Gas Forced Air Furnaces – Master metered apartment communities equipped with individual gas forced air furnaces can be converted to individual utility service by installing gas submeters in each dwelling unit. However, in some cases, submeters cannot be installed because of the community’s gas delivery system. High-resolution gas valve monitors installed on each furnace provide an accurate and economical alternative. Individual heat cost bills are computed by measuring gas flow “runtime”. Please click on the link below to view a furnace runtime system diagram.

Baseboard Heating Systems - While forced air furnaces are the most widely used heating systems in U.S. multifamily housing today, many apartment communities were originally constructed with baseboard heating systems. And these systems continue to provide a clean source of dependable heat.

As an authorized G.A.S.™ distributor, Guardian Water & Power installs heat cost allocation equipment for baseboard heating as well as gas submeters for forced air furnaces and domestic hot water.
