"Tired of Paying £10–£30/Month Just to Rent a Meter You’ll Never Own?"

Here’s How to Take Back Control—Legally, Safely, and Permanently

Let’s cut through the noise:

You do not need to rent your electricity meter.

Yet energy suppliers like EDF, Octopus, British Gas, OVO, and Scottish Power will happily charge you £120–£360 per year—just to “supply” a device that costs them less than £30 wholesale.

And the kicker?

They own it. You’re stuck with their slow, overpriced service.

This isn’t service. It’s a racket.

But here’s the good news: you can legally remove their meter—and install your own privately owned, meter in its place.

And I’m the electrician who does it—safely, compliantly, and without the corporate runaround. Whether or not you send meter readings to National grid is up to you!

Who Am I?

I’m not a sales rep. I’m not a call-centre drone from an energy conglomerate.

I’m a fully qualified, NICEIC-registered domestic electrician with over 20 years on the tools—wiring everything from 1930s terraces to £2M new builds.

My name’s Callum, and for the past few years, I’ve made it my mission to help homeowners, landlords, and small businesses break free from metering company exploitation—while still staying 100% within BS 7671 (18th Edition) and DNO regulations.

Yes, it’s legal.

Yes, it’s safe.

And yes—it saves you money, every single month, for as long as you own your property.

Here’s Exactly What I Do

🔌 Private Meter Installation (My Specialty)

I safely isolate and remove your supplier’s meter (with proper notification to your DNO if required), then install a high-quality, landlord- or homeowner-owned meter.

✅ No more monthly meter rental fees
✅ Full ownership of your metering infrastructure
✅ Option for smart-capable or sub-metering setups
✅ Ideal for HMOs, rental properties, or DIY energy monitors
✅ Fully certificated (EIC, MEIWC, Minor Works as needed)

This isn’t “cowboy work.” I follow Energy Networks Association (ENA) guidelines, coordinate with your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) where necessary, and ensure your installation is insurable and compliant—not some back-alley hack job.

But Wait—I Do All Domestic Electrical Work Too

Don’t think I’m just the “meter guy.”

If your home needs anything electrical, I’ve got you covered:

🔋 Full & Partial Rewires (1940s wiring? 1970s PVC? I’ve seen it all.)
🏠 House Extensions & Loft Conversions (new circuits, RCD protection, Part P compliance)
🍳 Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels (under-cabinet lighting, extractor fans, IP-rated zones)
⚡ Consumer Unit (Fuse Box) Upgrades (from rewireable fuses to modern 18th Ed boards)
🚗 EV Charger Installations (3kW to 22kW, tethered or untethered)
💡 Lighting & Socket Upgrades (USB outlets, smart switches, LED retrofitting)
🔌 Fault Finding & Emergency Repairs (no power? tripping? I’ll find it fast.)

I treat every job like it’s my own home—clean, tidy, on time, and explained in plain English. No jargon. No pressure. Just honest work.

"But Is It Really Legal to Remove A Meter?"

Yes—but with conditions.

You cannot just yank out a live meter. That’s dangerous.
But with a qualified electrician (like me) handling the process—including DNO notification when required—you can transition to a private metering arrangement that complies with all current regulations.

Many landlords have done this for years in HMOs and multi-occupancy buildings to avoid per-tenant meter fees. Now, homeowners are waking up too.

And I make it simple:

We assess your setup
Notify DNO if needed (I handle the paperwork)
Remove supplier meter safely
Install your new private meter
Issue full certification

You walk away owning your meter—forever free of rental scams and more ;-)

Real Talk: Why Most Electricians Won’t Touch This

Let’s be honest—90% of domestic sparkies avoid meter swaps because:

They don’t understand DNO rules
They’re scared of liability
They’ve never been trained on it

But I’ve done dozens—safely, successfully, and with zero compliance issues.

I’ve studied the ENA’s GDN Operating Code, worked directly with UK Power Networks, and built relationships with local DNOs so your job goes smoothly.

This isn’t theory. It’s proven. It’s repeatable. And it puts money back in your pocket—month after month.

Don’t Just Save on Meter Rent—Take Control of Your Whole Electrical System...

Whether you’re:

A landlord tired of paying £20/month per tenant for meters
A homeowner fed up with Octopus’s “smart” upsells
A DIY energy nerd wanting real-time monitoring
Or just someone planning a kitchen rewire or extension…

I’m your guy.

No corporate fluff. No fake urgency. Just a skilled, experienced electrician who believes you should own your infrastructure—not rent it from profiteers.
