You will need to know if your service is overhead or underground.

If you have a voltage problem you may notice such signs as:

• Lights dimming when other appliances are in use
• TV picture not stable when other appliances are in use
• Kettle is slow to boil
• Electrical motors that fail to start first time

Note: These problems can also be experienced if you exceed the capacity of your electricity connection. In this case, you will need to increase the level of your supply.

You will have to get an Inspection from the Regulatory Body.  Go to Safe Electric for advice in order to acquire a wiring certificate. The wiring certificate affirms that the wiring has been done to the required standard and it therefore provides assurance that your wiring installation is safe.

Certification Process

Contact your Electricity Supplier and tell them you want to have your electricity disconnected.  If you wish to have the meter removed  your supplier can arrange for this to happen at the same time.  You will need  your account number or  MPRN reference. If you have more than one meter, please provide the Meter Numbers (RM Numbers) which are available on the face of the meter.
