My electricity meter is in a cupboard in a bedroom and is quite a nuisance when the man comes to read it,
We have just arranged to have the meter changed as they say it is coming to the end of its life (old dial type).
What I wish to know is, the cupboard backs onto the hallway is it possible to have the meter placed on the other side of the wall with the service cut-out and consumer unit still in place in the other room i.e. just extend the tails through the wall for the meter.
This would mean the tails would need to be around 1metre long from the service fuse then back through the wall to the unit, is there any regulation stating the maximum length of the meter tails ?
Do you think if I drill the holes and put a board up the guy will put it in the hall for me (for a few quid)
I hope this all makes sense
Many thanks
