Hi,
I've recently bought a fixer upper which is going to need a full rewire.
I've removed the breakfast bar so I can actually get at the fuse box and meter but there appears to be some redundant kit which I'm not sure what it's for or who can remove it.
I believe the system used to have a storage heater on economy 7 hence the single fused spur/isolator off the main fuse but i'm not sure why this is wired directly into the main incoming fuse or what the Ratio Teleswitch is for.
I contacted EDF to have a smart meter installed and the guy that came out said he couldn't do it as it was a non standard installation and that I'd need to speak to Western Power. Western power have been out to look at it and stated that the incoming supply all looks fine up to their main fuse, and that everything else beyond that is the electricity suppliers responsibility. Western Power's only only comment was that the sparky would need to check and test the earth connection when installing the new fuse box.
If everything from the main fuse to the meter is the responsibility of my electricity supplier, I assume the EDF just need to send a meter installer that is qualified enough to remove the Radio Teleswitch and the fused spur wired into the main fuse, though not sure how they would disconnect the fused spur from the main fuse if they don't have access?
