Hi all,
a couple of years back we had someone around from Western Power Distribution (or perhaps one of their contractors) to quote for moving as close to the ceiling as possible our meter board which is currently in an awkward place at legs height in the hallway (is meter board a good term to refer to it?).
The quote was something shocking along the lines of two grands; understandable as it is all work which needs to be carried out with live current.
However, fast forward to today, we have babies and pushing the pram up and down the hallway is fitting just, and with just I mean just.
Problem we have now is that the babies are crawling and that thing is easily accessible by crawling babies, it is all broken in pieces and obviously not protected by any RCD or the likes.
Also, if I were to build a cover for it, the buggy wouldn't be able to be pushed down any longer.
Do you think that a free of charge work can be carried out to at least secure the meter board, but even better having it replaced with something more modern and hopefully slimline?
How would I go about it, does anyone have any experience with it?
Thanks all
