Landlords have many options when it comes to deciding how to recover energy costs from tenants. With the latest generation smart meters the solution is cost effective and easier than you think to get started. Using a smart prepayment meter for secondary metering consumers pay for energy online. Money collected from residents goes to the landlord to pay for their supplier energy bills. Smart meters give landlords peace of mind enabling them to manage meters from anywhere. With smart sub-meters there’s no need to arrange for an costly grid supply connection.
EmLite EMA1 Smart Online Prepayment Meter (with Topup Meters)
TOPUPMETERS is integrated into the EMA1 and offers the latest technology and service for managing energy to your tenants. Like traditional prepayment metering the tenant or consumer will need to prepay for the energy they use, but unlike previous prepayment systems no cash or tokens are required. They simply need to purchase energy from the secure payment website and credit is instantly transferred to their meter via the GSM network.
Many benefits are available to the landlords or site owner in using this system and once the meters are installed there is no other management required. Simply give each tenant the website address and follow the instructions. We will transfer their payments periodically to your nominated bank account. It really is that simple, no issuing of tokens and no cash to collect. Just an easy monthly payment that can be recovered from the standing charges to your tenant. There is a yearly subscription cost of £56.00 per meter, but this cost can be recuperated by setting a daily standing charge on the tariff.

How it works
The landlord maintains their relationship with the energy supplier. Costs for electricity and gas get recovered from tenants as they topup online. This money is paid out monthly or weekly for paying the supplier’s energy bill and recovering incidental running costs.
This is all achieved without having to engage with tenants or visit meters. There’s no need to arrange access to the property to empty coins or check meters. Instead manage meters from the web portal to keep track of energy usage and top-ups.
With the latest generation of smart metering technology credit gets sent to the meter over the mobile phone network. Consumers have all the convenience and transparency of prepayment. But without the drawbacks of regular bills and direct debits.
