Gas and electricity meters connect our homes to a supply and measure the amount that we use.
Moving a Meter
Technically, utilities meters are owned by the utility companies themselves. Therefore you cannot move a meter yourself, and you must seek permission to do so and ask your supplier to complete the work for you.
Generally speaking, you will only be permitted to move your meter if you are having trouble accessing or reading it or you are in the process of completing building work.
Whether a utilities company will agree to move a meter will depend on the amount of work involved. In the case of gas meters, it will also depend on the type of connectors used. They are unlikely to agree to a move if it is over a long distance or if the meter is outside.
