Pre-Payment Electricity Meters

Pre-payment meters allow landlords to take control of electricity bills on all their rental properties. Using a pre-payment sub meter means the landlord can keep the energy bills in their name (reducing the bills for the tenants) and get paid prior to the energy companies bill coming in.

Pre-payment meters come in many forms, from coin or card token operated to today's models which are fully automated smart meters.

Card token meters are more popular for marinas and caravan sites as there will likely be a concierge to manage the distribution of tokens.

Smart meters are the new market leader for private lets as it removes the involvement of the landlord entirely in the invoicing process. Instead, the tenant is able to pay at a local shop or online to top-up their meter.
