Submeter installation

Takes about 1 hr

A submeter shows how much power one part of the home uses, which helps when a floor is rented out or you want to track an AC or a separate unit. The electrician checks the incoming supply and the load to be measured, mounts the submeter near the board and connects it in the right circuit.

The price shown on this page covers the labour for one submeter on an accessible board. The submeter, an enclosure and any extra wire are quoted or bought by you. The electrician checks the meter reading moves under load before leaving.

The job takes about 60 minutes. Tell us exactly which floor, room or appliance the submeter should measure, and check any rules your society has.

Questions about this service

Can a submeter measure just one tenant?

Yes, if their rooms run on their own circuit. If the circuit is shared, separating it is quoted first.

Do you touch the main electricity meter?

No. Only the electricity company works on its meter. The submeter is fitted on your side of it.

Are spare parts included in the price?

No. If a part or material is needed, the electrician quotes it and fits it only after you agree.

What if the problem comes back?

If the work done stops working within 30 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.
