I want to upgrade the incoming fuse to 100A ready for switch from gas
to electric oven and hob + better electric shower.

I know UKPN will do the fuse, and my supplier (EDF) should be able to
do the 16mm tails /to/ the meter. My problem is bloody BG fitted an
isolator with 16mm tails from the meter.Â* (Despite me having my 25mm
tails ready and waiting to run from the isolator to the CU.) And
everyone tells me I'm supposed to get an electrician to do the tails
/from/ the meter.

Two questions on that:

a.Â*Â*Â* how's the electrician supposed to deal with the meter seal?Â* do
their tails so EDF find the meter unsealed?Â* be here at the same time
as EDF so EDF cut and then re-seal? or what?Â* (I can't get a straight
answer from EDF.)

b.Â*Â*Â* can they insist I get a card-carrier as it's not replacing a
CU, not in a special location, not a new circuit...?





The electrician cuts the seals, removes the fuse, replaces the tails,
replaces the fuse and goes home after training customer to say "I was
like that last time they read the meter"

My suggestion saves EDF all that trouble of sending out a **** on the
wrong day with the wrong info.
