Independent Submetering third party billing

[Aaron Carter]

1. So I am looking to submeter the natural gas and water of my duplex. Has anyone used the submeteres from Inovonics or ekm metering? I would like to submeter without having the utility company come out and install another meter thus passing along another monthly access charge to my tenants of approximately $30 a month as well as another initial $800-$1000 for the initial install. If this works out I have another property I would like to do this for as well. This would also be an excellent solution for multifamily properties that use off peak electric and propane for back up heat source. If you have used these is there a company that offers third party billing for such a set up? If not, maybe this would be a good entrepreneurial opportunity. Thoughts?
