Scott13 said…. It appears the ‘Committee’ are considering that owners may apply to have a ‘Sub-meter and powerpoint’ connected from the Common Area powerpoint. ..How expensive that’ll be I have no idea.
I often wonder how things turn out with regard to issues discussed here, so thanks for the feedback Scott.
One of our extended family has recently constructed a secondary dwelling (granny flat) on their property, so I just contacted them to find out about how they’ve metered the water and electricity.
Water usage is irrelevant in your situation, but their electrician supplied and installed a single phase sub-meter on the electricity supply that feeds the new dwelling for $105.00.
I’m not an electrician, but apparently the device incorporates a “fusible link”, and is therefore installed wherever that item (?) would normally be located on the primary electrical supply board.
Hopefully that answers your question about the likely costs of your E/C doing that; thanks again for the feedback.
