Guardian Water & Power
Signs Distributor Agreement With Energy Billing Systems
Columbus, Ohio November 10, 2005 – Guardian Water &
Power, a Columbus-based provider of utility cost recovery
services, today announced that it has signed a distributor
agreement with Energy Billing Systems, Inc. Headquartered
in Colorado Springs, Colorado, EBS manufactures the G.A.S.T
and G.A.S.TT heat-cost allocation systems. These systems are
designed to convert apartment communities originally constructed
with owner-paid gas utility service to resident-paid service.
“We evaluated several systems before choosing EBS as
our heat-cost allocation partner,” said Guardian President
Harry Apostolos. “EBS’s heat allocation equipment
incorporates both “time” and “time/temperature”
measurements so that heat delivered to each apartment can
be accurately determined,” stated Apostolos. “The
G.A.S.T and G.A.S.TT
systems also have other features we’ve been looking
for in a gas allocation product. These features include reading
displays and on/off lighting for resident verification, nonproprietary
system components and disconnect circuitry, all features which
focus on resident and management satisfaction.”
Guardian installs and monitors utility metering and allocation
systems in multi-unit residential and commercial properties.
The systems typically connect individual meters through a
radio frequency network that transmits readings to an on-site
electronic data collector. Meter readings are then routed
once a day through a telephone connection to a central billing
office.
Heat-cost allocation systems automatically calculate gas consumption
and heat-cost bills for each dwelling unit in the apartment
community. “Our G.A.S.T and G.A.S.TT systems allocate
gas-heating costs of forced air gas furnaces, fireplaces,
domestic hot water heaters and baseboard and fan coil boiler/chiller
systems,” said Roger Freischlag, Energy Billing System
President. “Our systems are designed to meet the growing
demand for accurate billing of resident heating costs in apartment
communities that were originally built with owner-paid gas
service.”
“We are pleased that Guardian selected the G.A.S.T and
G.A.S.TT systems as their preferred product in the heat allocation
market,” said Freischlag. “Guardian’s 22-year
track record in utility submetering and allocation will strengthen
our position in the multifamily heat allocation market and
help Guardian better serve their heat allocation clients.”
