When it comes to energy monitoring, no two projects are alike. Some organisations want a full-service partner to design, install and commission a complete system. Others just want accurate, real-time data feeds they can drop into their existing analytics platform. At Elcomponent, we make both possible — because flexibility isn’t a bonus, it’s a must.

Whether you’re an energy manager looking for turnkey peace of mind, or a consultant who just needs reliable sensor-level data, we build around your needs — not ours.

Complete Turnkey Solutions: From Design to Delivery

If you're looking for a partner to handle your energy monitoring project from start to finish, our turnkey service is the perfect fit. We handle:

• Site survey and solution design
• Meter and sensor specification
• Professional installation
• System commissioning and testing
• Integration with your dashboard or platform

We’ll also provide ongoing support — ensuring your system continues to deliver accurate, actionable insights for years to come.

This hands-off approach is ideal for businesses looking to improve their commercial energy management without dedicating internal resources or managing multiple contractors.

Data-Only Options for Consultants and Integrators

If you’re an energy consultant, integrator, or software provider, you may not need the full service — just clean, accurate data. Elcomponent’s data-only offering gives you the reliable infrastructure you need to feed your own systems and processes.

We provide:
• Sensor kits and data gateways
• LoRaWAN-enabled devices
• Flexible protocols (Modbus, M-Bus, BACnet)
• Live and logged data feeds
• Full documentation and support

This option is especially popular among BMS integrators, controls engineers, and large consultancies who prefer to manage their own software environment — but want to trust the data source.

Plug-and-Play Flexibility

One of the reasons clients keep coming back to Elcomponent is our adaptability. Whether we’re managing the full lifecycle or simply supporting your team with high-quality metering hardware and integration-ready outputs, we make it easy to:

• Scale up as needs grow
• Mix and match service levels across sites
• Add metering where it's needed most
• Transition from manual data capture to automated reporting

With Elcomponent, you can choose the level of service that fits your project, your team, and your goals — with no lock-in and no compromise on quality.

When it comes to metering large or complex sites, there’s no single solution that fits every challenge. Some areas are perfectly suited to hardwired CT meters. Others — like remote substations or rooftops — demand the flexibility of wireless. That’s why Elcomponent designs hybrid systems, using the best of both technologies to give you seamless, site-wide insight.

By combining LoRaWAN and hardwired solutions, we create energy monitoring systems that are accurate, scalable, and built to the specific needs of your site — not just the limitations of one technology.

One Site. Two Approaches. Total Visibility.

We don’t force wireless where cabling is simpler. We don’t hardwire when it’s disruptive or expensive. At Elcomponent, we start by understanding your buildings, infrastructure, and data needs — then we build a system that works with your site, not against it.

When Hardwired Works Best:
• Plant rooms and switchboards
• Main incomers and distribution panels
• Easily accessible internal metering points
• Permanent installations with long-term ROI

When LoRaWAN is the Better Option:
• Rooftop AHUs and external plant
• Remote substations or outbuildings
• Temporary buildings or modular units
• Areas where disruption must be minimised

The result is a hybrid metering system that delivers the right solution, in the right place, every time.

Why Hybrid Is the Smarter Choice

Hybrid metering isn’t just about convenience — it’s about:
• Lower installation costs by reducing unnecessary cabling
• Faster deployment for remote or tricky locations
• Minimal disruption to tenants, services or operations
• Maximum data coverage, no blind spots
• Open standards and clean data across all devices

Whether you're running a hospital estate, a university campus, a logistics park or a multi-building industrial site, our hybrid LoRaWAN + CT solutions provide the visibility you need — without compromise.

Built on Open Standards. Powered by Experience.

Elcomponent is committed to using non-proprietary hardware and open protocols. This means:
• Full integration flexibility
• Future-ready infrastructure
• Clean data delivered to MW2, your BMS, or your own dashboard
• No vendor lock-in

We’ve also developed a dedicated platform for LoRaWAN deployments: lora-sense.co.uk — where you can learn more about our wireless technologies, sensor range, and project capabilities.

Get the Best of Both Worlds

Stop choosing between hardwired and wireless. With Elcomponent, you don’t have to. We build hybrid energy monitoring systems that fit your site, your infrastructure, and your operational goals.

The right data. From the right place. With the right system.

In today’s data-driven world, organisations are investing heavily in metering technology — but many are missing the mark where it counts most: accurate, reliable data. The truth is, having the right equipment is only half the story. Without expert design, careful commissioning, and ongoing support, your energy monitoring system could be feeding you the wrong story entirely.
At Elcomponent, we’ve spent over three decades refining not just what we install, but how we install it — because poor commissioning leads to poor decisions.

Why Accurate Energy Data Starts with Expertise

Energy meters are only as effective as the system around them. If they’re not installed correctly, calibrated accurately, or integrated with the right software and infrastructure, they can lead to:

• Misleading consumption data
• Missed anomalies and faults
• Under- or over-reporting of emissions
• Misallocated costs
• Wasted investment

At Elcomponent, we design every system to suit the environment it’s going into. That means considering power layouts, communication protocols, site constraints, and long-term goals — all before a single meter is installed.

What Sets Elcomponent Apart

There are plenty of companies who can install meters. But Elcomponent’s 40+ years in energy monitoring brings something most providers can’t: real-world experience, technical know-how, and a deep understanding of the data you need.

Here’s what that means in practice:

• System Design: We don’t copy and paste. We assess your site’s layout and objectives to develop a custom metering plan, designed to scale with your needs.
• Professional Commissioning: We test every device to ensure accuracy and reliability. Your data will work from day one — not after weeks of fault finding.
• End-to-End Integration: Whether you’re using our own software or a third-party platform, we ensure full compatibility and clean data delivery.
• Ongoing Support: We don’t disappear after installation. Our team remains on hand to troubleshoot, upgrade and guide as your energy strategy evolves.

Avoid the Pitfalls of Poorly Installed Systems

Too often, businesses spend budget on advanced metering technology only to discover later that their data is full of gaps, duplication, or inaccuracies. These aren’t small issues — they lead to misinformed reports, missed savings opportunities, and lost confidence in your energy management programme.
Getting it right from the start means involving specialists who understand not just the kit, but the bigger picture.

Smarter Decisions Need Smarter Systems

Whether you’re managing a single site or a nationwide estate, the quality of your energy data will define the quality of your outcomes. With Elcomponent, you don’t just get meters — you get metering systems that are engineered to work, supported by professionals who know the industry inside out.
We help large organisations take control of their consumption and deliver meaningful results — through better design, better commissioning, and better insights.

In energy monitoring, it’s easy to focus on the tech. Shiny new meters, cutting-edge comms, intelligent dashboards — they all have a role to play. But there’s one step that often goes unnoticed, despite making all the difference between failure and long-term performance: commissioning.

At Elcomponent, we treat commissioning as the backbone of every metering project. It’s where the system comes to life — and where true reliability is either made or missed.

Why Commissioning Matters More Than You Think

Even the most advanced metering systems can fall flat if not properly configured. Poorly commissioned systems can produce:

• Inaccurate or incomplete data
• Communication failures between devices
• Misconfigured sensors and CTs
• Frustrated users and wasted investment

Too often, we’re called in to fix systems that were never commissioned correctly — leading to months of lost data and costly errors.

At Elcomponent, we don’t leave until it’s right.

What Proper Commissioning Looks Like

Commissioning isn’t just a tick-box exercise — it’s a process of verification, adjustment, and validation. Our team ensures every component of your metering infrastructure is performing exactly as it should:

• Verification of installation against system design
• Testing and calibration of all sensors and meters
• Configuration of communication protocols
• Validation of data output for clarity and accuracy
• Connectivity testing to dashboards, platforms, or third-party systems

This attention to detail is why Elcomponent systems keep delivering — long after we’ve left the site.

Built on Experience. Delivered with Care

With over 40 years in the industry, we know how easily small errors during setup can spiral into big issues down the line. That’s why we’ve built commissioning into the DNA of everything we do.

Whether we’re installing a full turnkey solution, supplying a data-only setup for integrators, or retrofitting metering to an existing estate, commissioning is never skipped or rushed. It’s the difference between data you can act on and data you have to question.

Performance That Starts (and Stays) Strong

Commissioning isn’t glamorous. But it’s the reason our systems:

• Deliver clean, reliable data from day one
• Integrate seamlessly with open platforms
• Require fewer support callouts
• Maintain accuracy over time

It’s why clients trust us with everything from critical ESOS monitoring to permanent sub-metering estates — because they know we don’t just install, we finish.

Don’t Skip the Step That Matters Most

If you’re planning an energy monitoring project, make sure the final step isn’t treated as an afterthought. Choose a partner who takes commissioning seriously — because that’s where performance begins.
