How Much Does It Cost to Split a Shared Meter in Lagos?

This is usually the second question, right after "does it actually work?" Fair nobody wants to spend money solving a problem their tenants are already half-managing through arguments and side deals. So let's talk numbers honestly.

The Starting Point

A Power Splitter unit runs between ₦40,000 and ₦60,000 per apartment or room, depending on the model and whether you're buying individually or through a distributor/retailer. That's a one-time hardware cost per unit, not a recurring subscription eating into your rent income every month. Buy it once, you're not paying for anything again except buying your light yourself.

What Actually Drives the Cost Up or Down

• Number of tenants who each need their own unit — since every apartment gets its own splitter, more tenants means more units.

• Model chosen — different Power Splitter models sit at different points in the ₦40,000–₦60,000 range.

• Buying individually vs. through a distributor — distributor and retailer pricing may differ from single-unit purchases.

None of this is fixed in stone from a blog post it's genuinely worth a direct conversation to get an exact figure for your specific compound.

The Number Nobody Puts on the Other Side

Here's what's easy to miss: the "cost" of staying with a shared-pool arrangement isn't zero. Add up what a single dispute actually costs — the hours spent settling fights, the tenant who moves out because they feel they're paying for someone else, the vacancy period before you find a replacement, the reputation hit if disputes become a pattern people hear about before they even view the room. Landlords rarely put a number on this, but it's real money leaving your pocket every time it happens.

Compared against that, giving each tenant their own independent way to buy power no shared pot, no contribution disputes, tends to look less like an expense and more like something that pays for itself the first time it prevents the next tenant from leaving over a light bill fight.

If You'd Rather Earn From It Than Just Save On It

That savings math assumes tenants buying independently. But Power Splitter also supports a second setup: landlords or facility managers who'd rather manage electricity centrally, buying power and reselling it to tenants at a rate they set themselves. With this model, the device isn't just avoiding dispute costs! it can become a small ongoing revenue line, which changes how quickly it pays for itself.

Getting an Exact Number

Since pricing depends on your specific compound and things like how many units you need, model, and whether you're buying individually or in bulk the fastest way to get a real figure is to reach out directly rather than guess from a general range. So reach out to us today, lets talk.
