You have to sign the installation completion form which the electrician will provide. You only do this once the meter is installed and is working.

The electrician is not paid out until the form is signed by you, hence your meter installation must be complete and form signed by you. The electrician hence must make sure they installed correctly and that the meter is in working condition in order to receive payment.

Furthermore, all electricians that are registered to PrePaid Meters have to be Certified Electricians, with minimum single phase testing qualifications.

To further ensure that everything is working, when you register the meter, make sure you asked upfront for a deposit amount and you record this to the meter on the registration form.

This will enable you or the electrician to send for a token via SMS and input the token before they leave the premises.
