Prepaid Meter Installation in Roodepoort
Splitting one electricity account across several tenants rarely ends well. Prepaid meter installation in Roodepoort gives every unit its own balance to feed, so people pay before they draw power and the shared-bill arguments stop.
Roodepoort is full of properties that quietly carry someone else's electricity bill. A house in Florida with a let cottage out back, a cluster in Wilgeheuwel with a rental unit, a small block of flats in Weltevredenpark fed off one municipal connection. The owner pays City Power, then spends every month working out who owes what.
Prepaid meter installation in Roodepoort takes that job off your plate. We put a sub-meter on each unit behind your main supply, and from that point every tenant feeds their own meter before the power flows. No estimates, no chasing, no awkward conversations on the first of the month.
The process is straightforward once you see it laid out.

What we check before fitting a meter
- The existing board. Older Florida and Discovery homes often hide undersized DBs and tired wiring that we sort before any meter goes on.
- Earth leakage protection. Every metered circuit sits behind 30mA earth leakage protection. On a rental that's not optional.
- Single or three-phase. Larger Wilgeheuwel and Constantia Kloof homes often run three-phase, which changes how the units are balanced.
Roodepoort Prepaid Metering, Answered
Yes. A second dwelling, cottage or garden flat on your Roodepoort stand gets its own prepaid sub-meter behind the City Power supply, so the tenant buys their own tokens and your account stops absorbing their usage.
We fit STS-compliant meters from recognised brands such as Hexing, Conlog and Landis+Gyr. STS compliance is what lets a meter load standard tokens, so tenants top up at the same vendors they already use.
Where we alter the distribution 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 sound, compliant board is part of the job, not an extra.
With split-keypad units the measuring section sits in a locked, sealed enclosure at the board and only the keypad goes into the unit. That layout, plus proper sealing, makes bypassing far harder and keeps the readings honest.
