Smarter Energy Monitoring for Homes, Businesses and Rentals

As energy prices rise and usage increases heading into autumn and winter, understanding where your power is going can make a real difference. At Datel Electrical, we help homeowners, landlords and business owners take control of their energy bills with simple, smart monitoring solutions.

Whether you’re looking to cut waste, improve efficiency or split usage fairly between tenants, we can help you track it all in real time.

Energy Monitoring at Home

Most homes have no idea which appliances are draining the most power. With a smart energy monitor, you can:

  • See real-time electricity usage

  • Track off-peak vs. peak usage

  • Spot high-energy appliances like immersion heaters

  • Pair with solar or battery storage systems

  • Make informed decisions to lower bills

We’ll install monitoring equipment directly at your consumer unit, so you get a full picture of your home’s energy use, and where you can save.

 

Business Energy Use & Efficiency

Energy waste can quietly drain profits. For commercial properties, energy monitoring helps you:

  • Sub-meter different zones or departments

  • Track and optimise machinery or equipment schedules

  • Spot costly inefficiencies

  • Make accurate decisions about energy contracts and tariffs

  • Keep usage in line with sustainability goals

We work with shops, offices, industrial units and hospitality venues to make energy management part of everyday operations, not just a guessing game at the end of the month.

 

Rental Property Cost Management

If you manage a holiday let, HMO or long-term rental, energy monitoring gives you visibility and control, even when you’re not on site.

We offer systems that let you:

  • Track usage during guest stays or between tenants

  • Monitor key systems like heating and hot water

  • Identify faults or abnormal spikes in usage early

  • Back up usage claims in tenant disputes

  • Protect your profit margins and stay in control of running costs

From basic smart meters to more advanced commercial monitoring, we’ll recommend the right setup for your property, and install it with minimum disruption.

We were given plenty of notice of Harry’s arrival with the live tracker. He was extremely helpful and completed the job he had been called to do.
