Why UK Law Requires Professional Meter Installation
Thinking of installing your own electric meter to cut costs? In the UK, including Birmingham, only qualified professionals can legally handle this job. Safety and strict regulations make DIY meter installation a no-go. Untrained attempts risk electrical hazards, fines, or even prosecution.
Electric meters connect directly to live power lines. This demands specialized skills and certifications that homeowners typically lack. For Birmingham residents, trusting a licensed electrician like TechFix Electric ensures your meter meets 2025 UK standards without the worry.
