advice please: separate meters or 3-phase for domestic useuse

Featured Replies

2 large rooms in a family house converted to studio/ensuite rooms. We would like to separate the utilities for  these studios so can we get 2 more meters with separate accounts from the utility company DNO? or if multi accounts not possible in the same address then can we get 3-phase electricity with 3 separate meters so that we can use two phases for studios and one for the main house?  Is there any differences between operators or availability in the area?

Thanks.

 

It depends how you will charge your tenant - I sublet an office in our building and to make things fair we simply bought a meter on ebay for £12.00 (same type as used by the utility co.) and wired his whole supply via this. Works well - he just pays his unit rate (we added 0.5p per unit to include for standing charge a little).

 

If however you need 3 separate supplies that are wholly responsible for by your tenants then you need to contact the utility and have them do it all. 

 

I would not worry about phases and things, it all depends what is there and the DNO will advise.
