sub-meter an older home in Bakersfield

I'm in the process of buying a home with a detached garage and studio in the back. I plan to live in the main home and rent out the studio. The electric and gas meters are shared, and I would like to sub-meter the property.  Has anyone does this in Bakersfield who can offer any advice or recommend a company to do this? From what I understand, I need to hire an external company (not PG&E) to come install the meters and monitor them.  Would the utilities all be in my name, but I would bill the tenant monthly for their share?
