Rhode Island Submetering

Not only do we install submetering systems, but we also install customized ratio utility billing systems (RUBS). Ratio utility billing systems are the best alternative to submetering systems and can help you increase your utility cost recovery since they are calculated using your monthly utility bill. Ratio utility billing systems (RUBS) promote conservation throughout the community as a whole which leads to a decrease in overall utility usage. Once a ratio utility billing system has been implemented you can expect utility consumption to decrease by as much as 40%. The great thing about ratio utility billing systems is they can be used for almost all utilities including water, wastewater, electric, gas and trash. Each state has their own rules and regulations pertaining to the use of both submetering systems and ratio utility billing systems. At Anchor we work closely with all local, state and national agencies to ensure every system we install is up to code. We also offer a three-tier, full service maintenance program that will ensure your system remains complaint after it has been installed. No matter what type of system you choose, at Anchor we handle everything so you don’t have to. From system design, to installation, to maintenance and ongoing service we take care of everything. We will even send out notices letting your residents know about the upcoming installation. This will help make the transition process a lot smoother. When it comes to resident and owner customer support we are committed to making sure every client is 100% satisfied. All of our clients have access to our live, bilingual support agents.
