Apart from on-site project management, meter and network installation services, a work order management system, UPA is also managing a 24/7/365 call center for customer care and appointment scheduling.
The new automated meters are expected to help LPEA members better understand their electrical consumption and make more informed decisions regarding usage, whilst generating significant savings over the cost of the existing meter through reduction in meter reading expenses and administration of some metering programs.
Additionally, the meters will offer LPEA important diagnostics that will help improve power quality, increase ways to optimize the electrical system and pinpoint outages.
Utility Partners of America CEO Lee Schwartz said the company is supporting the meter exchange project by providing a team of highly-trained technicians and customer care professionals for management of the entire process.
”This allows LPEA professionals to focus on their day-to-day operations, providing low cost, reliable power,” Schwartz added.
The installation work has already started and is scheduled to complete by the end of 2014.
