The right meter bank setup depends on your property type, the number of meters required, available electrical capacity, tenant layout, utility requirements, and whether the building uses single-phase or three-phase power. Brandon Electric reviews these details before recommending a meter bank configuration.
Single-Phase Meter Banks: Single-phase meter banks are commonly used for smaller residential, duplex, townhome, and light commercial properties. They are often a good fit when the building has standard electrical demand and does not rely on heavy commercial equipment.
Three-Phase Meter Banks: Three-phase meter banks are typically used for larger commercial buildings, industrial properties, and higher-load facilities. These setups may be needed when the property supports large HVAC systems, motors, machinery, or heavier operational demand.
Multi-Gang Meter Banks: Multi-gang meter banks are used when multiple meters need to be grouped together in one organized assembly. These are common for apartments, multi-unit residential buildings, office suites, and commercial plazas.
Switchboard or Larger Metering Setups: Some larger buildings may require a more customized metering setup connected to switchboards or larger service equipment. Brandon Electric can help evaluate the existing system and recommend the safest installation path.
