Installation of control electricity meters

Accurate sub metering for better control

Control electricity meters help you understand exactly where energy is being used, whether it is by a tenant, a department, a production line, or a specific circuit. We install control meters and sub meters so you can monitor consumption, allocate costs fairly, and spot unusual loads early. From single phase apartments to three phase commercial panels, our technicians provide a safe installation that matches your site requirements and the local supply rules.

When a control meter is the right solution

Many properties have only one main utility meter, which makes it hard to manage usage across multiple users or zones. Control meters solve this by measuring energy downstream of the main intake, giving you clear data for billing, budgeting, and efficiency projects. If you are not sure what you need, we can review your distribution board and recommend the best approach as part of our electrical solutions offering.

• Multi unit buildings where landlords want transparent tenant billing or usage checks.
• Offices and retail for tracking consumption by floor, unit, or equipment group.
• Industrial sites to monitor high load machines and reduce peak demand costs.
• Renovations where new circuits are added and you want separate measurement.
• Energy management projects where data supports upgrades and efficiency goals.

Our installation process

Every site is different, so we start by confirming the supply type, board capacity, and the circuits you want to measure. We then select the correct meter, enclosure, protective devices, and wiring method. Installations are carried out with safety as the first priority, including isolation, testing, and clear labeling for future maintenance.

Site survey and planning

We identify the best meter location, usually near the distribution board for short cable runs and easy access. We confirm whether direct connection or current transformer metering is required, and we check space for DIN rail modules or a dedicated meter cabinet. If you need remote reading, we also plan the communications method such as pulse output or Modbus connections, depending on the meter model and your monitoring system.

Installation and wiring

Our electricians install the meter, connect the measured circuits, and ensure correct protective devices are in place. For CT based meters, we fit the transformers in the correct orientation and secure them properly to avoid inaccurate readings. We route and terminate wiring neatly, maintain separation from other services, and label all conductors so the setup is clear for future electrical maintenance services.

Testing and commissioning

Once installed, we verify polarity, phase sequence for three phase systems, and correct CT ratios where applicable. We test the meter readings under load, confirm that the display and outputs respond correctly, and check that the measured circuits are accurately assigned. You receive practical guidance on how to read the meter, what the main indicators mean, and how to track consumption over time.

Meter types and options

Choosing the right control meter affects accuracy, usability, and long term value. We supply and install a wide range of models, from straightforward kWh sub meters to advanced meters designed for detailed monitoring. We will recommend what fits your site and budget, and we will only specify equipment that is suitable for your electrical panel and expected load.

• Single phase and three phase meters for homes, small businesses, and larger facilities.
• DIN rail meters for tidy integration inside distribution boards.
• CT operated meters for higher currents without heavy cabling changes.
• Multi tariff meters when time based billing or tracking is needed.
• Remote monitoring ready options with pulse outputs or communication modules.

Safety, compliance, and workmanship

Electric metering work must be completed correctly to avoid overheating, inaccurate readings, nuisance trips, or unsafe panels. We follow proper isolation procedures, use correctly rated components, and ensure that meter wiring and protective devices match the circuit design. If we find issues during the visit, such as damaged insulation, loose terminals, or undersized protection, we can address them as part of wider electrical safety services.

1. Clear labeling of circuits and meter identification for easy administration.
2. Correct sizing of conductors, CTs, and protective devices.
3. Secure enclosures with safe access and appropriate environmental rating.
4. Functional tests to confirm accurate measurement and stable operation.

What to expect after installation

You will have a reliable way to track usage and make decisions based on real numbers, not estimates. Many clients use control meters to verify tenant consumption, reduce disputes, and identify energy waste quickly. If you expand your premises or add new circuits later, we can upgrade the metering arrangement and keep everything consistent and easy to manage.

If you want a clear and dependable view of your electricity consumption, we are ready to plan and install the right control meter for your property and make sure it is tested, labeled, and ready for daily use.
