Hello,
We have a part of our house which we want to convert into an apartment. It is in good condition and will need a little work in 2023.
We are stuck on the electricty meter bit though.
Currently the electricity is recorded on a meter in the building (it was once an old office) but it goes through our home meter for charges - so all electricity including the potential apartment are on our bill. We want to seperate this into two bills.
Electrician says pre pay meter can be easily fitted to seperate both properties and tenants could pay on this meter.
I asked ESB about a seperate ESB meter and it seems like a very long and expensive process.
We would have to apply, get a team out, see where a new pole goes, dig trench to pole and to apartment, drill hole into the apartment, put in new meter, commission this and get it up and running so it is seperately billed.
The cost from ESB is gonig to be 6- 8000€... and a few months - maybe by summer.
Anybody done this or have any advice?
