Utility Consumption Monitoring
An empty property should use very little electricity or water. Our utility consumption monitoring records meter readings and compares them over time, so unexpected usage can be investigated quickly.
- Available across Chennai
- Can be arranged remotely
About this service
When no one is living in a property, meter readings tell an important story. A steady rise in water consumption may point to a leaking tank float valve or a running toilet. Unexpected electricity use could mean an appliance left on, a fault or unauthorised use. By photographing meter readings on each visit and comparing them with earlier readings, we can flag anything that does not look right.
We can also check that bills received match the readings we have recorded and alert you if something seems unusual, such as an estimated bill or a sudden jump. This helps owners avoid paying for consumption that has not actually occurred, or discovering a problem months later. Payment of bills is handled through our separate utility bill coordination service if you need it. This service focuses on monitoring consumption and raising alerts, with any follow-up action taken only with your approval.
