HI,
I am converting the downstairs of my house into a granny-flat for a member of my family. However, I don't really want to have the supply split and pay two standing charges for electricity. Is it possible to buy and fit a coin-meter for this seperate area, - which will cover the usage costs and I which I can empty myself? I expect to piggy-back an additional consumer-unit onto the existing one so that the supply downstairs has it's own trips, and I would like to put a meter there to pay me for the electricity used.
Also, can I ask my electricity supplier to increase the house supply to, say, 150a instead of the usual 100a? I want to add another electric shower if possible.
Thanks in advance.
H.
