[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 309006, member: 6969"] Okay I've read this a few times. The bit I can't get my head round is WHY do you need a new feed to the first floor? There MUST be a cable there already? Why can't you just get an electrician to connect the two meters one next to each existing distribution board, but using the existing cables? Is there any particular reason why the meters must be together, which seems to be the bit triggering the installation of a new cable? Having said that, a 3 phase electricity meter is likely to cost at least £100, so there's £200 of your bill already before any work is done. So £200 for the meters, £500 for the cable, then £300 for the work sounds very very reasonable. (as it happens I'm looking into a very similar thing and proposing individual meters next to each distribution board) [/QUOTE]
