Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 01, 2015 4:29 pm Hello, Building in a new estate, anyone know what type of electricity meter we will get? I herd somewhere once there a new smart meters out that report your usage so a meter reader doesn't need to access your Meter box, this would mean we can move the Meter box to the back of the house behind the gate.

The reason why I requested the EM1200 was so that it was a 'all in one meter', which means the meter box is less cluttered, as it doesn't make any other real difference.
