Multi Unit Meter Setup

Individual metering for apartment and commercial buildings

About Our Multi Unit Meter Setup Service

Madison Electric designs and installs metering systems that measure electrical consumption separately for each unit in apartment buildings, condominiums, and commercial properties. Our multi unit meter setup service creates organized banks of metering equipment with proper identification, individual disconnects, and clear pathways for service conductors to each unit. We ensure the installation allows easy access for utility personnel while maintaining security and weather protection. Your multi-family or multi-tenant property requires metering infrastructure that tracks each occupant’s consumption independently for accurate billing. Our electricians plan layouts that accommodate the required number of devices within available space, meet spacing requirements, and provide proper protection for all components. We coordinate with utilities to ensure our design meets their specifications for multi-unit properties and arrange for activation of all services.
