Electricity meters
Shows phases and the largest loads. Useful when a boiler or heat pump starts in an expensive hour.
Smart meters and consumption
Smart meters show where electricity, heat, and water go, not only the total bill at month end. An electricity meter at the board, a heat meter at the substation, and a water meter in the shaft are not the same device. NextTek connects reading so a manager or owner sees the figure without entering the flat. Water meters have their own page.
Three meters, three different places
Do not buy a smart home if what you need is the heating substation. We first say which meter is yours.
Heat meters
Sits on the heating substation. Remote reading means the manager no longer asks to enter the flat every month.
Water
Cold and hot water in the shaft. The price range and remote reading are on the water meter page.
Look at the panel
Electricity meters show kilowatt-hours. NextTek says whether the number is believable before promising a saving.
Keep heat apart from water
A heat meter and a water meter are not one device. Each has its own deadline and its own person who replaces it.
Skip the shop plug
A socket meter shows one device. The house meter shows the whole house. Do not mix them up.
A house and a building manager
In a house the meter is yours. In an apartment building, heat and water are often read by the manager, and the owner only sees the bill.
House
The electricity meter and, if you have one, the heat pump. A schedule can move the boiler to a cheaper hour if you are on a spot tariff.
Apartment building
Heat meters and water. EU rules on remote reading cover heat and hot water from a central source. More in the 2027 article.

Many meters already have a pulse output. Then we do not replace the device. We connect a reader.
Existing meter
If there is a pulse or M-Bus output, we read that. If the dial is only mechanical, we ask whether it may be replaced. Some meters are sealed by the supplier.
A new point
In a new substation or shaft we pick a meter that can be read without going inside. The price is the device plus the network, not only a smart sticker.
Estimate metering costs
The calculator shows a rough cost. We prepare an exact quote after we see the site. Ranges on this page are not a formal offer.

Frequently asked questions
Does a smart meter lower the bill by itself?
No. It only shows where energy goes. Savings start when you move the boiler or heating, or when you find a leak.
Can I replace the electricity meter?
The grid meter belongs to the operator. We measure consumption after it, with our own device. We do not cut the operator's seal.
What is a heat meter?
A device on the heating pipe that counts how much heat a flat or building took. It is not the same thing as a room thermostat.
Does reading work without internet in the flat?
The shaft and the substation often have their own collector. The flat's Wi‑Fi is not required. The manager's data leaves through the building connection.
How often must a meter be verified?
The maker and the Latvian rules for that type decide. We say the interval before installation, not after the seal has already lapsed.
Where are water meter prices?
On the water meter page. It has a range for the device and for reading. This page stays about electricity and heat together.
Which meter do you want to see?
Tell us if it is electricity, heat, or water, and whether you are the owner or the manager.
