I live in a block of flats where the electricity meters live in the basement. I have had a problem with my electricity supply and my supplier (NPower) have advised that they need to change the electricity meter.
They have so far been unable to, because they do not have the key to the fuse box underneath the meter (the "Rifield Cabinet"?).
They are trying to locate it with the engineers that they use (Lowry Beck) but have said that if they don't have it that I will need to contact the Local Council who may have the key.
They have been trying to blame me saying that I should have the key to this fuse box (Which says "Danger" on it!) and my flat's management agents also do not have it.
Firstly, who actually should have the key to the fuses for our electric meter?
Secondly, if they can't find the key, what should I/they do next to progress this?
Thanks for your help.
