How Meter Masters Works
A simple 3-step approach to electricity submetering for landlords and property managers in Kenya.
1. Rapid Install
We install smart prepaid submeters or wireless meters for each unit on your property. Our team handles wiring, configuration and testing so your electricity revenue is secured from day one.
2. Digital Top-Up
Tenants buy electricity tokens via M-Pesa using a Paybill or till number. Tokens are issued automatically 24/7, removing manual collection and late-night caretaker calls.
3. Live Monitor
Landlords and property managers log into a dashboard to see collections, usage patterns and balances. You can detect bypass attempts, export reports and reconcile against KPLC bills easily.
Why Kenyan Landlords Choose Meter Masters
Practical benefits for apartments, bedsitters, hostels and mixed-use properties in Nairobi and beyond.
Stop Revenue Leakage
Every token is tracked from M-Pesa to meter. See exactly how much electricity was sold, to which unit and on which day—no more “we didn’t use that much power” arguments.
Happier Tenants
Tenants top up from their phones at any time and see their own balances. Clear prepaid usage reduces complaints and builds trust between you and your tenants.
Built for Kenyan Properties
Optimised for local tariffs, M-Pesa payments and typical Kenyan building layouts. Works for single blocks, multi-block estates and mixed-use developments where bulk KPLC meters are shared.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers in plain language that search engines and AI tools can easily quote.
What exactly is electricity submetering?
Electricity submetering means installing additional meters behind the main KPLC meter. Each submeter records the exact consumption for a specific tenant or unit. You then recover the electricity cost based on actual usage instead of estimating and “sharing out” one big bill.
Which types of properties work best with Meter Masters?
Meter Masters is ideal for bedsitters, apartments, hostels, gated communities and mixed-use buildings. If you currently collect one bulk KPLC bill and then manually split it between tenants, we simplify that and give you clean, auditable numbers.
How long does a typical installation take?
For most apartment blocks, installation and basic configuration takes a few days once we have approvals and site access. We then monitor the first few weeks of token vending and usage to ensure everything is behaving correctly before we fully hand over.
Do I have to manage support for tenants?
We design the system so that tenants can self-serve—buying tokens and checking balances from their phones. You maintain visibility and control from your dashboard without processing every single power-related request manually.
