EON New regulation
Worth noting that as of the 11th of April, EON have brought in a new regulation (in most villages though not all) regards overhead cables. These will no longer be allowed and now must go underground thus making the cost of reconnection or upgrades slightly more expensive. A more important point though is that the cable will have to go underground to the house wall and so, worth considering the electrics before laying a new drive/path or wrap around patio area.

Re: EON New regulation
It's a great rule and will make most of the villages much tidier, but I very much doubt it will be implemented in our village!
Ignored more like! |

Ignored more like! It's only from the pole to the house, not the main supply so won't make much of a difference aesthetically. |
Re: EON New regulation
Who has to pay for this to be done then?
We upgraded end of last year and no mention was made of this coming in. |

Re: EON New regulation
I don't quite understand. Does the power still go overhead between poles? Is it just that your own pole can no longer be fixed to your roof or is the cable coming down the side of the EON pole then underground under the pavement, front garden etc?

Re: EON New regulation
We have just had EON upgrade our cable /Elec a couple of weeks ago they just replaced overhead cable on pole. Hope they don't now come back and redo it.

Is it the meter you are having replaced? They do this every so many years and it is free of charge.

The whole shebang as we need to massively upgrade the electricity supply to the house up to modern standards (and to power all the kids' gadgets!!!). We're having a new meter on the outside wall of the house so it can be read while we're not there and the current supply which comes from the pole will go underground to it.
Matt If you have an inside meter then this would be moved to the outside anyhow as legally they must now be on the outside of the property. It used to be that from the meter onwards was the responsibility of the consumer though now it will be from the connector box in the garden - similar to the gas whereby EON are responsible up to the point of the gas box but the consumer is responsible beyond this point. |
