Prepaid electricity meters solve a very real problem for landlords, managing agents, developers and body corporates. One simple box makes sure that the property owner isn’t left responsible for a massive electricity bill should a tenant ever leave without paying.
For over eight years Citiq Prepaid has partnered with electricians to install sub-metering systems into buildings. With a long track record of reliable products, available support and innovative market leading tech Citiq Prepaid is the easy choice.
Why electrical contractors from all 9 provinces choose Citiq:

Now, we are adding an online portal to make that choice even easier for clients and installers.
After talking to its customers, Citiq Prepaid realised that it could add value beyond the simple ‘no units – no electricity’’ functionality of the box. “Our online Meter Management Portal gives owners, managers and developers immediate and ongoing access to purchasing information and the ability administer their meters,” says Franze.
“As far as we know, Citiq Prepaid is the first prepaid meter provider that gives this level transaction and administrative access via the web. Property owners can see their full meter portfolio, drill down into the details of specific buildings or individual meters and have an immediate sense of the state of their buildings’ electricity transactions,” says Franze.
Why property owners love the Meter Management Portal

Tenants also benefit from the portal. They are able to access their personal meter data and get a clear understanding of usage. “Our aim has always been to be the most reliable, easiest and convenient way to access, control and provide electricity,” says Franze.
Citiq Prepaid is a completely South African business that was created to meet the needs of the property market. “We really get this space,” says Franze. “We don’t sell direct and are here to work with electricians to put in meter technology that works and keeps on working. Our system, from the box to the portal, is designed to give everyone, from landlord to tenant, exactly what they need to manage their power.”
