Sub-metering options for single family home conversion.

[Saulo Tijerino]

I have a single family home that I will be converting into two units. It is my primary residence, but once the second unit is established I would like an accurate 

metering system in order to charge the tenants their use of utilities. It is just a matter of walling off a hallway and I will have two units with separate entrances. 

I do not want to charge a flat rate because I feel like tenants will surely abuse the "unlimited" power usage and I will end up losing money. Does anyone have any 

solutions that has worked for them to properly bill tenants within the same residence? 

Thanks in advance.
