COMMERCIAL & MIXED-USE UTILITY BILLING
UTILITY BILLING FOR COMMERCIAL & MIXED-USE PROPERTIES
MANAGE DIFFERENT TENANTS, METERS & UTILITY COSTS UNDER ONE BILLING OPERATION
Commercial and mixed-use properties can have dramatically different utility needs from one tenant to the next. Restaurants, retail spaces, offices, residential units, common areas, and irrigation may all consume utilities differently — while leases may allocate those costs differently.
IMR structures utility billing around the property itself, including available submeter data, allocation methods, tenant billing, common-area treatment, account support, and documented reconciliation.
FAQ: COMMERCIAL & MIXED-USE UTILITY BILLING
-
Utility billing can be structured around the property’s metering system, tenant spaces, lease requirements, common areas, and applicable allocation methods. IMR works with property management to build a billing process around the way the property actually operates.
-
Yes. Mixed-use properties may include restaurants, retail spaces, offices, residential units, and other tenants with very different utility usage. IMR can manage tenant-level utility billing based on the property’s available meter data and billing structure.
-
Not necessarily. The appropriate approach depends on the property’s existing metering infrastructure and billing requirements. IMR can review the current system and determine how available meter data and applicable allocation methods can be used.
-
Yes. IMR can review your existing meter data, tenant accounts, billing setup, and metering infrastructure to help transition utility billing while preserving equipment and processes that can continue to be used.

Yes. IMR provides field support for meters, transmitters, repeaters, gateways, and other metering equipment. Connecting field service with billing helps address equipment problems that may affect meter data and tenant charges.
