3 Things to Check Before Contracting with Water Meter Installation Companies

Entering into a contract with water meter installation companies is an effective way to install submeters in apartments, condo units, manufactured home communities and even in commercial properties with multiple tenants.

However, choosing the wrong company to complete water submetering installation is a mistake and one that is often costly and time-consuming. Unfortunately, there are a lot of companies out there bidding on these projects with extremely limited experience in planning, coordinating and completing large or even smaller projects. This can lead to significant delays in getting the submeters in place, which will include complaints and frustration for both tenants as well as property owners and managers.

To help avoid these issues, ABT Water Management offers the following recommendations for three specific questions or factors to check on any water meter installation companies under consideration.

1. Track Record of the Company

Checking up on the company is good business sense. A quick online review of the submetering service should provide information on their past projects as well as the types of submetering jobs they have completed in the past.

ABT has over 25,000 installed meters across the United States, and that number continues to grow every year. Many of our customers have been with us for over a decade, which is a pretty good testimony to our services.

2. Installation Crews

At ABT, we only use our own crews of installers. These individuals are fully background checked and professionally trained to complete each installation using our protocols and procedures.
Many other companies subcontract this work, which means various levels of expertise and training, potentially resulting in problems with the installation that may not be detected for months.

3. Understanding of the Process

Finally, take the time to ask the various water meter installation companies about the process they will use to complete your installation. The top companies will be able to provide a detailed explanation of how they will approach the project, which will let you compare options and make the best choice.
