Buying and installing Gas & Electricity meters?

ideoplastic

Can I buy and install my own gas & electricity meters? Is this allowed under the
revisions to the Gas Act 1986 for doemstic users?

Thanks

Yes you can own your own gas and/or electricity meter as long as the meter is of an approved type. It can only be installed with your suppliers knowledge and must be installed by a qualified person. In electrcity this means the party your supplier has appointed as the Meter Operator to your meter point. Once installed the meters become part of the fixtures of the house and would have to be left in place when you move.
