Professional Meters, Inc. (PMI) was founded in 1999 in response to the rapidly growing market for automated meter reading systems for the water, gas, and electric industry.

PMI has managed every type of mass meter project including inside-set and appointment jobs, meter pit jobs, and specialized plumbing jobs. In past projects, our installers have performed simple meter exchanges, new meter cut-in work, and plumbing repairs or modifications such as installing new meter pits, valves, adapters, re-plumbing and more. We have utilized both union and non-union labor forces and have experienced installers on every meter project. PMI has worked nationwide and is mindful to the specific needs of every utility. The variety of projects and types of customers we have performed work for has allowed us to create a management approach that is scalable to the needs of every mass installation program.
