Two electric meters

Markb06

We have just moved into a property and found what we thought was the electric meter inside the property (I Still think this is our main one). It looks like this

Now outside in a cupboard I have found one of these.

Now on the one outside the disc is spinning. If I turn the power off in the house the disc stops spinning. But I am unsure why this meter is here? Or what reading to give?

Any one have a clue because I don't.

Cheers

You supplier will have the meter serial number which you can get to work out which meter to read.

The 6 dial digital meter is unusual for a domestic meter which have 5 dials normally for that meter, 6 dial meters are usually businees meters If you are a flat it could be the landlords supply meter covering lighting/security. I have seen these meters in the flats occasionly
