Power Tokens

Whether you are a tenant, a landlord or a home owner, you should consider installing a pre-paid electricity meter or power token system. Not only will you be saving money, but you will be helping our environment.

It doesn’t matter what emission controlling systems that are installed, the burning of coal will always pollute the air that we breathe. So it stands to reason the less electricity we use, the less coal we burn, the less we pollute our environment.

If you have to buy a power token every day you will certainly take notice of your consumption. You can even work out which appliances use more power than others and therefore limit your use of the less economical ones.

Environmentalists target electricity consumption in their efforts to convince us to reduce our greenhouse emissions. The more power you use the more coal has to be burnt to turn the turbines that produce the electricity.

The best way to counteract this apathy is to install a pre-paid meter system or power token system to each rental unit, whether it be short or long term accommodation. If the tenant has to buy a power token that is portable, ie: one that he can take with him and use at his next port of call, he will be sure to be much more careful or even frugal in his consumption of electricity.

People are never as careful with other peoples money as they are with their own. By installing a power token system of electricity supply you as the landlord are making the tenant responsible for their own actions.

The trade-off for this transfer of responsibility is a fair reduction in the tariff for the accommodation. You, as the landlord, will soon realize that you are making more money by reducing the room tariff in exchange for the transfer of the responsibility for the cost of the electricity that your tenants consume.

A friend of ours owns a motel in Katherine, and his permanent residents run their air-conditioners 24hrs a day, whether they are there or not. Why? Because they are not paying for it, that’s why. I told him of our idea of putting in a power token system.

He worked out that if he installed pre-paid meters, they would pay for themselves in the first 2 or 3 months. Being a large motel, he would have to sell the power tokens at his reception, meaning that he would actually be making a profit as opposed to forking out for his tenants’ wastage.
