Hi,
In my house the electricity meters are in a cupboard which is recessed into the wall just behind the front door. Basically the inner skin of bricks has been removed with the meter attached to the inside of the outer skin. This is finished of with a flimsy wooden door.
This causes quite a draft. I have insulated the door with the insulation used behind radiators and tried to fill any gaps with expanding foam but it is still drafty.
My next sep was going to be to cut a section of loft insulation to fill the space. Would this work? Do the meters need airspace around them? Will this cause a fire hazard? Is there a better way?
Any help would be very welcome.
