Hi there, I will be getting an electrician to replace my consumer unit with a much larger one, rather than adding a 2nd one.
To do this, the electrician will require the prepaid meter present to be isolated.
I contacted EDF, my electric board, who will come out and disconnect in the morning, and reconnect in the afternoon. They will need access to a basement room in the flat which I will arrange with building management.
During the day the CU will be replaced.
Is this a standard procedure? I feel it is a lot of hassle for a consumer unit replacement.
NB. EDF has said they do not offer to fit isolators, which I understand is an alternative to the above, unfortunately not on offer.
