A comprehensive utility management solution built for the multifamily industry

We make utility management easier for property managers by tackling the unique challenges of managing community expenses. From outsourced utility accounts payable to conducting vacant unit cost recovery and recouping expenses from residents, our utility management services save you time and help you grow NOI.

  • Recoup utility costs from residents

    With Zego Resident Utility Billing we help you recover utility costs and calculate resident charges via RUBS or submeters. Residents receive a single, itemized statement showing utilities, rent and any other ancillary charges. The result? Residents have full transparency into what they owe, and with simple click-to-pay mobile and online payment options, you get paid on time and accurately.

    • Improved productivity
      Virtually effortless for your staff with unique features such as automated bill retrieval and move-out calculators.
    • Reduced risk
      Minimize regulatory risk and the liabilities associated with on-site payment collection.
    • Seamless integration
      We play with all major property management software, which means less headaches for you.
    • Increased conservation
      Support green initiatives with paperless options, plus incentive conservation with usage-based utility billing.
  • Automated utility accounts payable

    With Zego Utility Expense Management we automatically receive, carefully audit, resolve, and pay all utility invoices on your company's behalf. By tying together your occupancy information and utility bills, we also identify residents who have neglected to put utilities in their name, catching opportunities to recover un-recouped utility expenses. The result? We ensure your bills are paid on time, eliminating unnecessary costs, and saving your staff time.

    • Accurate, timely payments with detailed reporting
      Your bills are paid correctly and on time eliminating late fees with your utility spend available through your Zego Insights.
    • Audit & error resolution
      Invoices are audited (including proactive missing bill recovery) and exceptions are resolved with vendors directly.
    • Variety of invoice types
      Zego removes the A/P burden for utility invoices such as electric, gas, water, and sewer.
    • Easy bill retrieval & seamless integration
      Invoices are routed to Zego saving your staff time and the information is populated directly into your property management software.
  • “Utilities can be frustrating, especially when you have multiple properties - it’s hard to keep track of invoices. Making sure we didn’t have a cut-off or shut off was important….“Zego has made our lives easier at the corporate office and behind the scenes. Zego helps us work smarter, not harder. We benefit from that at all levels - the manager level and the corporate level.”

    Jenny Rosario
    Director of Implementation and Software, City Gate Property Group
  • “Dealing with utilities, in particular, has been a drastic improvement because we now have full insight into that data. Recovering those costs from residents is more streamlined and has even led to more on-time payments because residents pay rent and utilities at the same time.”
