When you may need prepaid meters

Symptoms and situations worth having checked

Meter shows an error?

The token, keypad, meter, upstream protection or supplier may be involved.

Planning to move a meter?

Ownership and approval should be confirmed before finishes close access.

Need to measure a flatlet separately?

A private submeter may allocate usage without creating a second municipal supply.

What the work can include

  • Identify municipal and private equipment
  • Check load and circuit arrangement
  • Assess board space and protection
  • Plan accessible meter positions
  • Clarify supplier responsibilities

How the service is handled

A clear path from assessment to completion

  1. Assess the connection

    Capacity, route and protection are reviewed.

  2. Coordinate next steps

    Supplier and property-side tasks are separated.

  3. Confirm ownership

    Municipal meters and private submeters have different boundaries.

  4. Define the purpose

    Monitoring and a new supply are different projects.

Prepaid Meters FAQs

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.

Who handles a meter fault?

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