If you’re like me, there’s nothing more frustrating than suddenly losing power because you didn’t realize your electricity credit was running low. Keeping track of your Prepaid Electricity Meter balance is crucial for uninterrupted daily life. That’s why understanding your meter and choosing a reliable partner like Gomelong matters. We specialize in smart, user-friendly prepaid solutions that put you in control.
What Is a Prepaid Electricity Meter and How Does It Work
A Prepaid Electricity Meter is a modern system where you pay for electricity upfront. Instead of receiving a monthly bill, you purchase credit that is loaded onto your meter. As you use power, the credit decreases. This method helps with budgeting and prevents surprise bills. The key is having a meter that displays your balance clearly and reliably. At Gomelong, we’ve designed our meters with intuitive interfaces so you always know exactly where you stand.
How Do I Physically Read My Meter’s Display
Most Prepaid Electricity Meter units have a clear digital screen or LED display. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
Locate the display panel on your meter.
Press the designated button (often labeled “Display” or “Select”) to cycle through information screens.
Look for the screen showing “Available Credit,” “Balance,” or “Remaining kWh.”
Note the number – this is your current balance.
For example, a typical Gomelong meter display might show:
Screen 1: Total kWh Used
Screen 2: Available Balance (in currency or kWh)
Screen 3: Low Credit Alert Threshold
Can I Check My Balance Online or via an App
Absolutely! Modern Prepaid Electricity Meter systems offer remote monitoring. If your meter is connected to a smart system, you can often check your balance through a customer portal or a dedicated mobile app. This is where Gomelong excels. Our smart meters can be integrated with our secure customer platform, allowing you to:
View real-time balance and consumption.
Receive low-balance alerts via SMS or app notifications.
Top up credit instantly online.

Why Might My Meter Display an Error or Low Balance Warning
If your meter shows an error code or a flashing warning, it often indicates low credit. First, check your balance using the methods above. If the balance is low, it’s time to recharge. Other errors could relate to communication or system resets. A major advantage of a Gomelong Prepaid Electricity Meter is our detailed user manual and customer support, which clearly explains common error codes and troubleshooting steps, empowering you to solve minor issues quickly.
