Unlike water, gas consumption (natural or LP) can vary greatly between households, depending on habits, appliances, and schedules. Residential gas submetering allows for detailed, fair, and safe control of this resource.

What is gas submetering?

It is the use of individual meters for each housing unit within a condominium or residential complex, in order to accurately measure and charge each household's gas consumption.

Main benefits:

1. Transparent and fair billing
Avoids conflicts between neighbors over disproportionate consumption. Everyone pays for their own usage.

2. Leak and risk prevention
Modern submetering systems can detect abnormal consumption patterns, allowing quick action in the event of a possible leak or malfunction.

3. Greater autonomy for residents
With submetering, each household can monitor and manage its own consumption without depending on general records or fixed rates.

4. Operational optimization
Administrators can automate meter readings, simplify monthly billing, and reduce management time.

Why is it especially useful in residential settings?

In developments with centralized gas systems, flat rates are often unfair.
Gas consumption varies greatly between families.
Submetering can also be used as a safety measure to detect leaks or tampering.

Conclusion

Implementing gas submetering in residential complexes not only improves fairness and system efficiency but also increases safety and autonomy for residents. It's a logical step for any modern condominium.
