emlite
emlite makes electricity metering products, including meters used to measure and manage energy use in homes, rental properties and commercial sites. At Meteor Electrical, our emlite range features the Emlite 100A smart online top up meter.
A top up meter lets a property owner or tenant pay for electricity in advance and add credit online, making it a practical option for landlords, holiday lets and sub-metered units. Buy at trade prices with a trade account, and order in-stock meters by 5pm for next working day delivery to NI and ROI.
Choosing a smart top up meter
Prepayment and top up meters help property owners recover the cost of electricity used by occupants, without the need for manual readings and billing.
Common uses
- Landlords: letting tenants pay for their own electricity in advance.
- Holiday lets and caravans: charging guests for the energy they use.
- Sub-metering: measuring supply to outbuildings, workshops or separate units.
What to check
Confirm the meter's current rating suits the supply it will measure; a 100A meter covers typical single-phase domestic supplies. Check how credit is added and whether the online top up system meets the property owner's needs. Consider where the meter will be installed and whether it needs a suitable enclosure or meter box.
Installation and compliance
Meter installation should be carried out by a competent electrician in line with current wiring regulations and the manufacturer's instructions. Sub-meters are installed after the supply company's main meter, so do not interfere with the utility meter or its seals. Check any local rules on resale of electricity before charging occupants.
