Pay for energy online
Topup online for instant credit
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.
Getting Started
Contact us to place an order for Topup smart meters. Each property will need its own metered supply to ensure they only pay for the energy they use. If gas is also required then make sure to include Pulse Senders and new gas meters if necessary.
Installation
Ask your local accredited NICEIC electrician about installing a sub-meter. Contact us to help find your local electrical contractor. The electrician will fit meters and perform any necessary rewiring work.
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 enagage 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 topups.
GPRS smart meters
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.
We use Stripe to process card payments . If you already have a Stripe account this can be linked so that payments are allocated to your account for even faster payouts

Accepted payment methods
We understand in some cases cash is the preferred method of payment. Its still possible to take cash or other form of payment to apply credit a meter. Which is why landlords can apply topups from the web portal. This is useful when there is a change of tenancy or when checking in a new guest.
The system generates a unique topup code and delivers to the meter over the cellular network.
Stay on supply during unsocial hours
Friendly hours prevents the power going off at night when credit runs out. The meter will wait until morning before disconnecting. This minimises the risk of out-of-hours calls and provides consumers extra time to buy energy. Friendly hours and holiday dates are customizable to further minimise any disruption.
