Answer

What is uTrack and how does it work?

uTrack Energy is a submetering service, meaning we track the utility usage of each individual unit and bill accordingly. This means you get billed based on what you use, minimizing the amount of cross-subsidization between the tenants of a building.

I just set up Pre-Authorized Payments (PAP). When does it come into effect and how will I get my security deposit back?

Your PAP will come into effect on the next billing cycle. You will receive your security deposit in the form of a credit towards future bills in the billing cycle after PAP is set up. If a bill has already been issued when PAP is set up, you will need to pay that bill manually.

Why am I charged for an "Admin Fee" on my bill? 

These charges represent the various expenses involved in ensuring a consistent and reliable commodity supply to your doorstep, from infrastructure development to customer support. This includes:

  • The costs of installing, maintaining, and reading the sub-meters help you and your utility provider better understand your energy or resource usage.

  • Costs of billing services, providing customer support, managing collections, and handling various administrative tasks to ensure you receive reliable service.

Why am I receiving bills after I’ve moved out?

Likely, these bills will have your usage from the end of the last billing period until your move-out date. We only bill you for the electricity you consume!

About a month after you’ve received your last consumption bill, we will issue you a final bill where your security deposit will be applied to any outstanding charges, and the remainder will be refunded to you.

Ex. For a move out date on September 30th:

  1. Received bill for August 15 - September 15 on September 20th

  2. Receive bill for September 16 - September 30 on October 20th

  3. Receive your final bill on Nov 20th

**Note: You are responsible for all charges on your utility accounts until your Move Out request is approved, even if you’ve already moved out.
