Default New electric meter - how to read ( Economy 7 tarriff reader)

I have been given a new electric meter. Its 10 foot above my head so reading
it is a exercise in logistics anyway. I have to climb up and try to see it


Ask them to come back and mount it somewhere more suitable aka safe to
access - you consider it to be a safety risk where it is, and will go
through the HSE if they don't...

It should be within 6 feet of the incoming supply / main fuse, on the
same wall (ideally), so hopefully that would give scope for it to be
resited. You also want an isolator fitting so you can work on your own
equipment without having to call them out to pull the main fuse.

You may find you'll have to provide your own tails from the consumer
unit to the isolator switch.
