WilSon Energy has successfully installed a heat Pay as You Go, pre-payment metering system at Aura Court, West Hendon.

Aura Court is a new build, six storey, 37 apartment residential development by Arish Living comprising one and two-bedroom properties, plus a single three bed property. There is also commercial space, which is being utilised as the main client’s office. The development is leased to the local authority to provide affordable homes in an area which has a shortage of housing.

Heating and hot water to all properties and commercial areas is via a centralised air source system and Heat Interface Units (HIUs). The client required an individual meter, compatible with HIUs, for each property to ensure accurate billing, prompt collection of utilities payments and access to competitive energy tariffs.

To avoid issues that they had encountered from another supplier on a similar project nearby, Arish Living commissioned WilSon Energy to install and operate a heat Pay as You Go metering system and to manage the ongoing billing.

Andy Wilkinson, CEO at WilSon Energy, said: “Following a site survey and a full assessment of the heat network and the clients’ ongoing billing requirements, WilSon has been able to provide a complete heat metering system and associated billing and bureau services.

“Now our engineers have installed the latest smart heat meters on site, our billing and bureau team will remotely manage the whole metering and billing process. Our experienced team deal directly with residential customers to answer any questions or queries and take payments via our UK support desk. All residents have access to WilSon’s online customer portal which provides several different ways to pay, as well as information regarding their consumption. The design of the network with the air source system ensures that a very competitive tariff can be offered.

“By using WilSon Energy for the supply and installation of the latest heat smart metering plus billing and bureau services to manage ongoing billing, the developer has insurance that utilities will be paid in advance and costs allocated correctly, preventing any debts building up at each property. Energy usage is accurate, so residents and the client have transparency. Plus, through our specialist energy brokerage service, WilSon can help secure the most competitive tariffs, so everyone gets a better deal.”
