What's included
Equipment, an optional extended warranty, and the service relationship.
Submetering started with manual meters that someone had to read monthly. Today's meters are state-of-the-art wireless devices that report usage daily. NES offers an optional extended warranty that covers mechanical issues, and sells or leases meters at cost, which is unheard of in the submetering business. The meters belong to you, and you're free to use NES, another vendor, or a combination.
Old meters too
Updating manual meters with new wireless ones.
If your property has older manual submeters, NES can replace them with current wireless models as a standalone service. The new meters integrate with the NES platform for daily reads, MyReads leak detection, and resident-facing billing if you want NES to handle that side as well.

Four steps from quote to live reads. Buy or lease at cost, from stock, with an optional extended NES warranty.
