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

Baseboard Heating Systems - While forced
air furnaces are the most widely used heating systems in U.S.

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. Please click on the link below to learn more about
