Hi everyone

I wondered if you can use a meter in the garage to monitor how much electricity is being used?
(The garage has SWA and a CU with RCBO’s and SPD fitted)
If so would you place it before the CU or after? Any recommendations on what/which to buy please?

Cheers

(I’m converting my garage to a dog grooming salon hence wanting to monitor how much extra electricity I am using)

It would go before the garage consumer unit.

There are other devices to monitor usage.

Thank you. That’s what my original thought would of been that it goes before the CU 😊
 
Just have a look for plug in power monitors. Much quicker and cheaper probably
