HOW SUB PREPAID METERS WORK

If all owners of a sectional title building want to convert to prepaid meters

Living in a sectional title building means that you have one bulk meter from the council supplying electricity to all units in the complex. The council can therefore not install prepaid meters for your building. That is where The Meter Man comes in. We will install a sub prepaid meter inside each unit. The meter is recharged by purchasing electricity at various vendors. All money going through the meters will then be transferred into the client’s specified beneficiary account.

If you are an owner occupying your property within a sectional title complex

The meter is installed in such a way that it separates the apartment where the consumption will be individually measured through the meter. The end consumer will recharge their meter by purchasing electricity/water at various vendors. All money going through the meters will then be transferred into the client’s specified beneficiary account.

If you are an owner that has a tenant occupying your property in a freestanding house or cottage on your property

The meter is installed inside the house or cottage. The meter is recharged by purchasing electricity at various vendors. All money going through the meters will then be transferred into the client’s specified beneficiary account. You will then use the prepaid funds received from The Meter Man to pay towards the electricity statement that you receive from the council.

If you are an owner wanting a prepaid meter for your own use while occupying your own property

We do not replace the council meter or their billing system so our system will not be suitable. Should you want to convert to a prepaid system, you will need to contact your local municipality.
