Condominiums
Utility billing reduces property consumption 15% – 40% by making tenants responsible for consumption. At National Utility Services, we offer billing, integration, installation, system maintenance and much more. National Utility Services has innovative solutions for your community. Submetering is not only applicable to apartment complexes, but also applies to condominiums developments.
Recent advances in metering technology have made it possible to economically convert multi-unit condominium developments to individually submetered units.
In a condominium building, much like an apartment complex, submetering is an effective way to tailor the utility bill to each tenant’s individual usage. By using the method of submetering, you can benefit financially from any cost-saving measures your tenants use to cut down their bill. This also allows you to provide greater control for each tenant over the bill for the unit, something that can be especially important in marketing units and maintaining high occupancy ratings.

Accurate & On-Time
Meter Reading Services
National Utility Services provides professional meter reading services to remote billing companies, municipalities, and property owners.
We currently offer reading services in over 26 States and plan to expand our coverage area to all the lower 48 States by the end of 2022.
When your property is read by one of National Utility Services professional meter readers you can be assured that your reads will be accurate and on-time each cycle. Based on each property’s or route’s needs, National Utility Services utilizes a combination of tools, such as, hand-held pc’s, tablet pc’s, meter probes, meter scopes, and other recording equipment to ensure your reads are error free.All our readers clearly identify themselves with photo id badges, “Meter Reader” attire, and display “Meter Reader” signage on the sides and rear of their vehicles while performing reading services. For our submetering clients, we also check in and leave a door hanger with property management when we arrive on site.
National Utility Services utilizes the latest technology to ensure your reads are not only accurate but can be easily imported into any billing system. All incoming reads are imported; no matter if they are touchpads, radio reads, or straight visual, into our utility data management platform. Once imported, our trained and experienced reading coordinators look over every incoming read checking for errors, abnormal, non-function, or missed meters. We can then alert you of any maintenance issues or can have our readers audit any meters that appear abnormal. This practice ensures you always get accurate meter information from National Utility Services. From there we can create a custom data file in any format you choose CSV, Flat File, Fixed Width, Excel, and others. Just supply us with the file specification and we will send you that file every month. We can also automatically transfer that file to any internet connected server.
