Hi,

Just received a letter on behalf of my electricity suppler (utility warehouse) from a company called Amy. They advise that my old electricy meter has passed its expiry date and would like to arrange to replace it with a new meter for free.

I would like to know who actually owns the electricty meter - I thought it was national grid?

My property has old wiring and needs rewiring. I would like to know if replacing a new meter will have any impact on the old wiring ie. causing frequent fuse tripping etc or will the replacemnt make no difference?
 
The replacement of the meter will not cause any additional issues.
