Metering Services

Advanced Meter Reading & Infrastructure

Advanced metering is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from water meter or energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This technology saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Another advantage is that billing can be based on near real-time consumption rather than on estimates based on past or predicted consumption. This timely information coupled with analysis can help both municipal utility providers and customers better control the use and production of electric energy, gas usage, or water consumption.

ENERGY SERVICES

McNeil Rhoads is committed to helping our clients reduce not only reduce their energy cost but providing a holistic approach to infrastructure and operational optimization programs. Our firm’s personnel have led the development of the some of the largest energy and operational cost reduction programs in the region. McNeil Rhoads is uniquely positioned to be your energy solutions partner.

Over the last decade, many of the energy conservation and infrastructure projects performed in the southeastern U.S. have been performed by corporate conglomerates which carry high overhead rates. This overhead not only makes projects much harder to cash flow but takes money off the table that could be put into the client’s infrastructure. Also, many of these firms are manufacturing firms that develop projects with the intent of selling product, which in many cases may not be the best use of savings for the client.

By utilizing McNeil Rhoads, clients are offered the experienced personnel who have developed and implemented large scale energy programs but avoid paying very costly corporate overhead rates and be subject to product biases to obtain those services. This provides more improvements for the savings to the client and gives the taxpayers the maximum value on their investment.
