I have a customer who has a 3-family house that was built back in God knows when. At one time he had a 200 amp main service with 3 meter enclosures tapped off that service. Some time ago he went up to a 300A service and the POCO took away the 2 tenant meters (not sure why). Since then he's been charging the tenants for a portion of the electric usage but when they leave the house each day they leave the AC running. He's not getting a fair amount for the electric usage. Anyway, I believe he is grandfathered in with respect to having a house panel and all the other common area things associated with that type of residence. He initially wanted to get the tenant meters re-installed by thge POCO but I convinced him to install his own sub-meters and have the tenants pay him for the electric use.
That said, I have no experience with any of the products out on the market. I see some made by Levitton for anywhere from $100 to $500; others from $500 to $1000 and Emon meters from $1000-$2000+. If any of you have had experience with any of these and are willing to share your knowledge I would be most appreciative. I'm just looking to do a satisfactory and quality job and not looking to gold-plate this. Thanks in advance.
