Hi,
I am currently converting my property, which was two flats into one house.
There are two meters under the stairs, both coming from a single main supply. Its an old terrace house, so it has 100A main fuse, rather than an isolator.
One set of meter tails goes into a downstairs consumer unit, under the stairs. One goes through an old main switch to the consumer unit upstairs.
The downstairs meter unit is prepaid. The upstairs one is a normal meter.
I would like to have the prepaid meter removed. It seems that it would also be a good time to have a main isolating switch installed so that the consumenr units can be safely isolated, as there will likely be a lot of work going on in the near future consolidating the house circuits etc.
Am I right in saying that it would be the electricity distributor that would do this work. Would the same person that removed the meter fit the isolator?
As a teporary measure, until both are consolidated, would it be acceptable to have two outputs from the single isolator/meter that I am keeping to feed the two consumer units?
