Multifamily Utility is a national submetering and billing company that provides utility submetering solutions for property owners, property managers, and property developers in the state of Alaska. We offer code-compliant submetering systems for new construction and for existing systems that need to be replaced. Our innovative and focused water and wastewater products and programs are perfect for the multifamily, condominium, mobile home, commercial, and military markets. We sell, install, read, and service non-proprietary meter systems from some of the leading manufacturers in the industry. By using meter systems from top manufacturers such as American Meter, Wellspring, Master Meter, and Inovonics we are able to design systems for any situation. From design to installation, to maintenance, we handle it all. Once you decide you want to work with us we will come out and do a complete analysis of your property. This analysis will help us better determine your needs as well as the best submetering products for your situation. If the state requires inspecting and testing of equipment before installation we will send it to the appropriate government office on your behalf. Once all equipment has been approved we will schedule the installation and get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

Alaska Legal Info

Landlords are not prohibited from billing tenants for electricity, gas, and trash through the use of the ratio utility billing system (RUBS.) Electric submetering is not allowed, with some exceptions. A provisional or traditional certificate from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) is required for apartment owners providing water or wastewater service to the tenants. The lease must specify the rights and obligations of the landlord and tenants.

This requirement applies to several different areas of the USA. The license has to remain current and valid while doing business in these regions.

Alaska Submetering

In an effort to make the transition as smooth as possible, we will also send out notices to all residents letting them know about the new submetering systems that are going to be installed. After the system has been successfully installed all resident information will be uploaded into our billing system. Through wireless transmitters and receivers meter information will be transmitted back to the Multifamily Utility headquarters. Our state-of-the-art billing system will then read the meter information and create individual utility bills for each resident or tenant. Utility bills will then be sent directly to the residents via email or the United States Postal Service. Multifamily Utility will also collect all payments and send a monthly reimbursement check to the owner, manager, association manager, or other persons in charge of receiving payments. With the rising cost of water, submetering has proven to be one of the most effective ways to promote water conservation. Other benefits of submetering include better cash flow, improved property value, less administrative work, and stabilized rents. Besides submetering, we also offer a host of other services including Utility Expense Management, Resident Expense Management, Customized Ratio Utility Billing Systems, Billing & Collections, and Meter Maintenance & Compliance. At Multifamily Utility we are committed to being one of the best in the industry. We are setting the standard by offering all owners, property staff, management and residents live support in both English and Spanish. Our friendly customer service team handles every service request and question in a routine and detailed manner. This system allows us to track, respond to, and resolve issues quickly and professionally. By offering a wide range of products and services in utility submetering, utility management, and utility conservation, we are able to provide all of our clients with results that endure.
