Submeter Conversion Tips

Check the Laws in your State

Laws vary from state to state, and some states are much more specific about how the submeter conversion process must happen. Review your local statutes and make sure that you comply with all regulations to prevent costly mistakes. Jet Utilities can help walk you through the process and help to avoid pitfalls.



Choose the right Meter

Choosing the right meter is one of the most important desisions you will make. Remember that you get what you pay for. The less expensive plastic and composite meters last only a fraction of the time as a solid brass meter. The last thing you want to do is have to repurchase meters again and again every couple of years due to faliure and inaccuracy. Jet utilities uses solid brass low lead (exceeds 2014 NSF standards) meters that carry a 25 year warranty.



Choose the right AMR System

​The AMR or Automatic Meter Reading system is the "Brains" of your submeter system. There are many choices available and most are designed for municipalities that have full time staff for reading meters. Jet Utilities uses the leading technology for residential submeters to ensure that you never have to read a meter manually. We provide 24/7/365 monitoring that alerts for potential Tampering, Non-Advancing, and even potential leaks. 



Choose an experienced installer

Installing your new submeter system is a big project and every individual dwelling can present its own unique set of challenges. Jet Utilities specializes in installing and maintaining residential submeter systems. We have in-house journeyman plumbers that are dedicated to each project. They have the experience to adapt to these challenges to ensure that 100% of the metered utility is captured.



Choose the right utility billing company

Utility bill preparation and calculation can be very time consuming for a property manager.

In some states these costs can be passed through to tenants.
