FAQ
Questions we hear often
Do prepaid meters cost more than standard meters?
Installation is comparable. The benefit is spending control. You know exactly how much credit you use and can avoid red-bill shock.
What happens if the meter battery fails?
We install a backup supply to keep the meter's clock and settings intact. Without backup power, you lose time and must reconfigure.
Can I change from prepaid back to standard billing?
Yes. It requires meter replacement and supply authority notification. We coordinate the change and ensure proper installation.
Is the prepaid meter compatible with solar integration?
Yes. Some prepaid meters work with solar feedback systems. We check compatibility before installation and advise accordingly.
