Submeter installation and repair
At our core, we are meter experts. Starting with submeter installation, we know all meters — all varieties — so we can install and repair them anywhere in the country.
Furthermore, if you purchase your meters from Bay City Metering and we install them, we stand by them. This means if there is an issue with the installation, we will fix it. If another company installed your meters, and did not offer a similar provision, we can certainly perform an installation correction. Of course, we can also repair or replace meters of any type at any time.
Testing is performed to check for accuracy that all meters are capturing full tenant usage. We also verify that phasing, assignment and programming is correct.
