Hi,
Chap (Meter plus)? came round to replace electric consumer.
No probs but he did suggest I get "new set of tabs" failing that
any power consumption in excess of 40amps could cause problem.

No idea what he was talking about but did ring electrician he
suggested (he left his ID next to meter)

So question is am I getting genuine advice and if so what sort
of expense might i expect if tabs are replaced.

Any advise welcome

cheers

Could that have been the meter? The CU is the thing with fuses etc...

Sounds a bit like my experience a few months ago - we had our meter
changed compulsorily under a planned replacement programme (we had a
dial job replaced by a dinky little digital thing with a winking red
light); and the guy tut-tutted at our prehistoric main fuse which is 60A
IIRC, and said it needed to be changed for a 100A one.

Very difficult given the information. ;-)

Mmm.
