What This Service Does
Our prepaid and sub-metering systems help property owners measure electricity and water consumption accurately, recover utility costs, reduce billing disputes, and improve control over monthly utility usage.
Every property has different utility management needs. Some properties require prepaid electricity meters, some require prepaid water meters, and others need a full sub-metering structure where usage is measured per unit, tenant, flat, shop, room, or section.
EDM Solutions assists with the planning, supply, installation, setup, configuration, and support of metering systems that make utility recovery easier and more transparent. Our solutions are suitable for residential buildings, rental properties, estates, sectional title schemes, commercial properties, mixed-use developments, and municipal projects.
