Hi Shikades,

Thank you for getting back to us!

To confirm - is there an electricity connection currently active at your property, or are you having a new one installed?

Kind regards,

Jayden

Thanks Shikades.

Have you requested any other work be completed at the same time as your meter upgrade? For example, have you recently installed a solar system or upgraded your hot water unit?

Cheers,

Jayden

No. I am renting and do not have solar panels etc.
