prepaid meters
what is a prepaid meter?
A device used for the collection of revenue in relation to the consumption of electricity or water. Revenue is “pre-paid” by a tenant purchasing units of electricity(kWh-kilowatt hours) or water(KL-kilo litres) in the form of a 20 digit token that will be manually entered into the meter, allowing the tenant to consume electricity or water until his units have been used up and the meter shuts off water or electricity to the premises. The tenant will then need to reload the meter to continue consuming electricity or water. Call us now to find out more.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
354 prepaid water meters installed in a residential complex in just one month
“BVTech not only did a most efficient job of installing the meters. Nazeer has also held the trustees’ and management’s hands in reporting monthly to one of our Managers’ Projects meetings to discuss the month’s consumption figures.”
“We are extremely happy with the service we have received from BVTech and from Nazeer himself. So much so that I have even singled them out for special thanks in my Chairman’s Report to the members of the BC.“
Smart water meter installed in a residential house
“By using the readings from the water meter, we were able to test the 3 water lines and isolate the source of the problem, being a large leak (800 liters per day) on one of the lines. We were able to fix the problem within 24 hours after installing the water meter, and the daily usage reduced immediately to within the limits set by the City of Cape Town under the current water restrictions.“
“The result is not just a saving of around R1 000 per month, but now it is easy to take weekly readings ourselves to ensure that we stay within the limits as determined by the City. This relatively small capital expense for the meter and installations will effectively save us thousands of rands in the future.“
“Nazeer and his team were efficient, very helpful and knowlegable and we highly recommend their services.“
3 Residential complexes in need of water meters
“We as the Managing Agents of 3 Block of Flats in Gordon’s Bay have been working with Nazeer Railoun since June 2017, specifically in relation to the installation of pre-paid water meters in all 3 blocks amounting to 292 pre-paid meters.“
“Our experience with BVECHSA has been a pleasant one, whenever new water meters of this nature are installed there are obvious teething problems, which Nazeer has always attended to timeously.“
prepaid electricity meter installed in a residential house
“Thank you Bvtechsa for your help with installing a ‘true’ smart electricity prepaid meter. We were really impressed by how quick Nazier were able to identify that the previous prepaid meter wasn’t a smart meter even though the company claimed it to be and how he was able to identify within a couple of minutes how the people were bypassing that system. Even the recall when we needed help was done quick and efficient and Nazier didn’t see this as an opportunity to charge a call out fee every time. Thank you for you heart in really wanting to help and using such good quality equipment that could do what it said it can do.“
