My electricity meter is about 8 foot above floor.

So it's a safety issue, as you're not able to read the meter.

I am going to have a total re-wire of the house and want to have the

You want to be able to read the meter without putting yourself at risk
by standing on a chair etc. - by ground level, i'm guessing you mean
so you can read it without climbing on something.

He could just use binoculars while standing on the floor.
