BUY a prepaid sub meter
Metro Prepaid sub meters for landlord electricity are available from leading US electrical wholesalers.
Metro Prepaid electric sub meters are suitable for a range of residential and commercial Landlords who need to recover electricity usage from tenants. Metro Prepaid electric sub-meters are tamper –resistant, surge resistant, reliable, UL/ ANSI compliant and manufactured for many years of useful life.
Install a prepaid sub meter
Landlords use their own appointed electrician to install the prepaid electric sub meters.
Landlords may install as many prepaid electric sub meters per property as the main supply permits.
Electricians must comply with NEC and local wiring codes. The prepaid sub meters are quick to install and easy to operate.
Using a prepaid sub meter
Once installed tenants top up their prepaid sub meters by purchasing Metro Codes vended by Metro Prepaid across thousands of PayNearMe linked stores (i.e 7Eleven) in the US.
Metro Prepaid accumulates these electricity (Metro Code) payments for any given month, and transfers these funds to the registered Landlord in the first week of the following month. The Landlord uses the funds to service the cost of the main supply (from its Energy Provider)

How to buy Metro codes
Tenants may top-up their prepaid sub meters by purchasing a Metro Code. Metro Codes are vended by Metro Prepaid in thousands of participating high street stores in the US linked to PayNearMe such as 7Eleven, Walmart, Dollar General, CVS and Casey's as well as on-line. A Metro Code is a 20-digit encrypted number that is punched into the meter by the tenant on returning home.
