Western Power tell us that we need to upgrade our power supply from them. We have bought an old semi in the wilds and are installing a heat pump, apparently we need a better electricty supply. Whilst we don't feel able to argue about it, the cost is going to be around £1800, even with me digging the 40 metres of trenching. Funnily enough we don't have this kind of money kicking around :cry:

Is there any alternative? I have noticed that the current supply which comes from a pole at the end of the garden sags quite badly, would Western Power need to maintain that line at certain height and would our supply going underground be to their advantage? Are they open to negotiations?

Any help/advice would be very welcome.

Cheers!
