Splitting power

Maggie asks:
(updated on Wednesday, April 22nd 2015)

I share a power meter with the flat next door and want to split it off to my property. How can I do this?

Our Experts Answer:

There are two ways of doing this. A separate feed for your property is the “elegant” solution. You can contact your electricity supplier and arrange to have an additional meter installed. However, if you wish to separate only the charging, your electrician may be able to install a “check” meter that accounts for the electricity usage within a section of a property without going the full way towards separating the supply to the two properties.
