[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 364172, member: 6969"] Ignore the 3 phase meters as they are "dormant" You objective is to get all onto one account. So you need an electrician to move all the loads from one of them onto the other, leaving one feeding nothing. Your electrician will be able to determine which one is the least amount of work to move. Unless you have several electric showers or some other unusual loads, then one meter should be able to supply one normal domestic dwelling. Once the electrician has moved the loads to just one meter, that will leave you what to do with the spare one. You could ask to get it removed, though I had a customer who converted two cottages into one was quoted £1000 to remove one of the supplies. Assuming you find the same nonsense, then you just need to make the spare one "dormant" One easy way to do that would be to switch the electricity account for that one to Ebico who have no standing charge (but a higher price per KWh) Then if you are using no electricity, you will get a quarterly bill for £0.
