Pre-Paid Meter Installations FAQs

Who handles a meter fault?

Supplier-owned equipment normally needs the supplier; private-side faults may be assessed separately.

Can a flatlet have separate usage?

Often, if the board and circuit design suit submetering.

When should a move be planned?

Before cabinetry and wall finishes restrict access.

Is a submeter a City meter?

No. It measures a downstream circuit while the supply meter remains the billing point.
