Large house. with 4 self contained flats. Improvement needs to be made to the shared MET.
All flats on switched fuses, feeding CU's in the individual flats.
Just wondering what others do when it come to switching off the supply to multiple flats.
Obviously you inform them. Do you get them to switch off such things as boilers, computers, then ask them to switch off their CU. Or do you want to confirm this yourself
Do you use a permission to work type form, or some disclaimer from damage
Basically covering you back, because you will now become responsible in their minds for anything that fails in the flat for the next 6 months.
I presume most electrical items are unlikely to be damaged from a loss of supply (Computers etc. you might loose unsaved work)
So the sudden loss of power will not be an issue. But you would not want to switch it back on if it was under some load
Thanks
