Reason to Use Topupmeters for
Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO)
HMOs can use smart meters to recharge energy to tenants
Landlords of houses of multiple occupation can have sub-meters fitted to recover their energy costs. Sometimes energy might be already included in the rent agreement. However this isn’t a fair or accurate way to recharge for electricity. There is always a risk the tenant will use electric carelessly, thereby leaving you out of pocket for exorbitant utility bills.
Where a property has been split into units or a part of a building is being sub-let, the landlord can have an electrician install smart prepayment secondary meters for charging electricity, gas and even water.
With the Topupmeters system, tenants pay for energy online. Topups are made using a card payment and instantly sent to the meter over the GSM mobile phone network. Each meter has its own SIM card for receiving topups. Energy usage is monited remotely from the landlord web portal.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
The ability to manage meters remotely from a web portal has been incredibly beneficial. Using smart meters has helped identify energy wastage and clamp down on fraudulent behaviour with old card meters
We were using historic card meters in many of our properties. Keeping a stock of £10 cards for issuing credit was causing a headache for us and our commercial and domestic tenants. Changing to Topupmeters means we can manage tenant’s energy from anywhere at anytime minimising operational costs and making our life a lot easier.
Before we had to maintain a manned office for taking cash payments for issuing card tokens. Now our residents can buy energy online 24/7 for instant credit top-ups. The convenience and ease of use is impressive and Dominic’s team have been a pleasure to work with.
With Topup prepay smart meters our customers only pay for the energy they use. Previously it was part of their rental agreement where the electricity was included in the rental agremeent but some customers were using considerably more than others who were only there for a few weeks of summer. Now we have a much fairer system thanks to Topupmeters
