Hi,
I'm having some work done to the house which means that I may need the mains electric to be re-routed. I keep reading about having to have the meter on the outside of the house. Currently it's inside, in the hallway, which is where I want to keep it. I'm having the exterior rendered etc and don't want an ugly wall mounted meter box on the front (or side!) of the house.
I know having an external meter helps with readings, but I know that inevitably we will have the option of remote readings being taken in any case.
Is it mandatory that I have one of these boxed meters on the exterior?
