Prepaid Meter Installation in Boksburg
One bulk meter feeding several tenants is a recipe for a monthly squabble. Prepaid meter installation in Boksburg gives every unit its own balance, so tenants pay before they draw power and you stop reconciling someone else's usage.
How Prepaid Meter Installation in Boksburg Works
Plenty of Boksburg properties run on a single connection that ends up carrying several households. A flatlet behind a Bartlett home, a few units in a Sunward Park complex, a converted house in Atlasville split into rentals. The owner pays the bulk account, then spends the month working out who owes what.
Prepaid meter installation in Boksburg fixes that at the source. We fit a sub-meter on each unit behind your main supply, and from then on every tenant feeds their own meter. No estimates, no chasing, no reconciliations on the first of the month.
Every meter we fit is STS-compliant — Hexing, Conlog, Landis+Gyr — so tenants top up at the vendors they already use. A non-STS unit can't load standard tokens, which leaves you with a meter nobody can buy power for. Where the work touches the board, it's certified to SANS 10142-1.
Which Prepaid Metering Setup Suits Your Boksburg Property
Not every property needs the same solution. A single extra dwelling is a different job from a whole complex, and the right setup depends on how the units are fed.
| Setup | Typical Boksburg property | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Single prepaid meter | Flatlet or cottage in Bartlett or Atlasville | Tenant buys own tokens; your account stops carrying the unit |
| Split-keypad sub-meters | House split into rooms or units | Meter per unit, keypad inside, measuring section locked away |
| Complex meter bank | Townhouse scheme in Sunward Park | Metered units for the body corporate to recover electricity fairly |

What we check before fitting a meter
- The existing board. We sort tired wiring and undersized DBs before any meter goes on, so you're not metering a problem.
- Earth leakage protection. Every metered circuit sits behind 30mA earth leakage protection. On a rental that's not negotiable.
- Single or three-phase. Larger Boksburg homes and small complexes often run three-phase, which changes how the units are balanced.
- Tamper points. Locked enclosures and proper sealing keep meters honest and discourage illegal bypassing.
Boksburg Prepaid Metering Questions
Yes. We fit STS-compliant meters from brands like Hexing, Conlog and Landis+Gyr, so tokens are bought at the same vendors any Boksburg resident already uses. The keypad shows the balance and the tenant simply tops up.
Yes. We sub-meter townhouse schemes and small complexes across Sunward Park, Bartlett and Atlasville, giving each unit its own prepaid meter behind the bulk supply so the body corporate recovers electricity fairly.
Where we alter the board or wiring to fit the meters, the work is done to SANS 10142-1 and we issue or update the Certificate of Compliance. A clean, compliant board is part of the job, not an upsell.
Split-keypad meters keep the measuring unit in a locked, sealed enclosure at the board, with only the keypad inside the unit. Proper sealing and a tidy DB layout make bypassing far harder and keep the readings trustworthy.
