Moving Elecric Meter and Fuse Box
Hi. Any advice? I am having my electric meter moved from a position inside the house to an external wall. My question is - do I have to move the fuse box as well? i.e. Does it have to be a certain distance away from the main meter? And if I move the fuse box, will that mean doing an entire re-wire of the house or can they just extend the existing wires to reach the new fuse box position? Thanks!

Thanks for help so far. The electric board are moving the meter to an outside position, but they said I have to have an electrician connect the meter to the fuse box (ccu). At the moment the fuse box is an old style, but will need to be updated anyway. The distance between the new meter position and the existing fuse box will be about 6 metres. Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to move the fuse box as I fear it'll create the need for a whole house re-wire. Don't know when last electrical inspection was done, but guess it would have been quite some years ago..... Many thanks again! c
