Hi,
My electricity suppier tells me my meter is due to be replaced and would like to put in a smartmeter (free of charge as far as I can see!!). My house is a semi built about 1960. It has the original distribution board with (mostly) fusewire fuses. There is a trip module inserted for a recently installed electric shower. The 13 amp circuit in the house is standard 3 wire. The lighting circuit is only 2 wire but I'm told that it is OK provided the lighting fittings are class 2.
Will I be getting the third degree from the smartmeter installer about having the house re-wired? Over the 40 odd years I've lived in the property I've only had fuses blow a couple of times and these were faults caused by me!
Thanks
MIke
