Haveing problem wirh electrics keep cutting out.
Not sure we have an earth leak. Or just electrics need upgrade.
I know i need a electrician for this but iv also been told that to apply upgrade need to get ibredrola or can this be done by any electrician and also what is the cost for electric metre upgrade.

Hi take all your plugs out replace one at a time it might be one appliance causing the trip worth a try

What is it that’s tripping out, is it one of the individual circuit breakers in the fusebox, the main circuit breaker that’s separate from the others in the fusebox, or the meter itself?
If it’s one of the circuit breakers then exactly what does it say on it?

Could be you now have a smart meter

Our electric kept tripping and we found out it was the boiler had a new one fitted problem solved

If there aren't any problems with appliances it may be that the power supply is too low following a meter change to a smart meter. Iberdrola won't come and sort this out. You need a legal electrician to do the paperwork and upgrade you. You pay him for this. Iberdrola then make a charge for this on your next factura and the cost per kw is also increased.

Sometimes, if you aren't able to reset the fuses at your own board, following it tripping, you have to do this at the outside Iberdrola box - usually on the outside wall for your house or, if on a community, in a communal box close by.

Is it compulsery to have smart metres. And what is the cost to install?? Any body had problems with a smart metre ?? Can just upgrade fuse box do the trck.

Iberdrola are rolling-out Smart meters free of charge to all customers. You’re not allowed to refuse the fitting of a Smart meter.

Your problem isn’t caused by having a Smart meter, if it’s one of the circuit breakers in the fusebox that’s tripping.
If you answer my previous post about exactly what is tripping out then we’ll be able to point you in the right direction to identify and fix the issue.
