No space up there, I'm afraid.I would hard pipe the reg and put it above the electrics.
Well they changed my meter based on its age, same colour as the one in the picture, new ones are white or cream, my meter was far too old, they did that to various other houses in my street as well as in one of my rented properties where the guy who swapped the meter couldn't find a suitable length of pipe and had the meter mounted too low (shoulder height) from over head height, I complained because my tenant kept bumping into it, they came and put back up where it should have been mounted in the first place, this time they brought the right length of pipe, for some reason they had to change the pipe.mike from london why would you want to change an old meter , have you ever thought why they get changed after 20 years ? its because they start registering in the customers favour .
As for moving meter yep grid will move it away from the elec meter for free done many jobs like that usually on the day its phoned in
As i Already said its free to move it
The new smart meters are coming being rolled in, I am aware of it, my energy company has written to me that they would like to do this if i give them the go ahead, at the moment I have joined a new energy supplier who asked me to not go ahead as they will need to put their smart meter in when they start supplying my gas, and electric.Its in transition, found a company who could supply me gas at 2.4p per kw and electric at 10p per kw, inc vat, saving me well over £650.00
it has a strange name called "Places for People Energy" found through energyhelpline.comThe new smart meters are coming being rolled in, I am aware of it, my energy company has written to me that they would like to do this if i give them the go ahead, at the moment I have joined a new energy supplier who asked me to not go ahead as they will need to put their smart meter in when they start supplying my gas, and electric.Its in transition, found a company who could supply me gas at 2.4p per kw and electric at 10p per kw, inc vat, saving me well over £650.00
That's sounds very cheap.
So which supplier is that from?
You really have a very awkward layout and limited space
My plan/idea/thought/question/whatever was about getting the guy I get in to move my boiler (or more likely install a new one in a different place) to move the meter a bit, so it's up against the wall. And maybe actually fixed, rather than just sat there free to move about. Assuming it's safe to move a meter, and have the flexible connection accommodate that¹, I would hope that the incremental cost of work on the pipe where it attaches to the meter, in relation to all the other gas and water pipe changes, boiler installation and commissioning etc, would not need me to be seated when told what it was.You really have a very awkward layout and limited space to move the meter even by a few cms, not worth the hassle especially how much the transporter charges.
Interesting point - what does "meters on his card" mean in this context? If, for argument's sake, I was increasing my gas demand to the point where I needed a 28mm or 35mm pipe from the meter, would replacing the existing one need that endorsement?Just make sure your registered engineer has his meters on his card, it needs a floor bracket fixed to the floor. your gas pipework wants to be rerouted so it does not cross the electrical stuff.
