I live in a converted townhouse, which now comprises 3 flats. There is a shared, commercial, mains supply and meter which uses about £5 of electricity per year, but has a massive standing charge - we're looking to get this meter removed and have the shared supply connected to the downstairs flat (we'll all just share the cost through common charges).
We've been given conflicting advice and are looking to clarify, must we:
- Get SPEN to formally disconnect the supply, then get an electrician to remove the meter and tap into the downstairs meter, or,
- can we get the electrician to disconnect the mains meter and cap the supply, then tap into the second meter.
Any help and advice appreciated.
