Prepaid sub-metering
What is sub-metering?
One power connection. Everyone pays for their own - like airtime for your electricity.
Many properties share one connection from the municipality - but everyone uses a different amount. Sub-metering gives each unit its own prepaid meter, so every person pays only for what they use.
R
Think of it like airtime. You top up your own meter, whenever you want, and you only use what you pay for.
How it works
One supply, metered by the municipality - then split into a sub-meter for every unit.

The municipal meter stays
The main municipal or Eskom meter that supplies the property doesn't change.
2
Each unit gets its own meter
We fit a small Gridix prepaid sub-meter for every room, flat or unit.

Everyone buys their own
Top up in small or large amounts like airtime.

Everyone pays fairly
You only pay for what you use. The owner covers the single municipal bill from what each person contributes.
