When installing meters in properties built before 1996, it may be necessary to replace old metal pipes. Some older electricity systems still rely on the supply pipe providing an 'earth' - this is now prohibited. If you believe your property may have this system, you should contact a qualified electrician to ensure you have an adequate earth."

Is it a difficult or easy task to identify whether this may be the case? My house was built in 1938 and still has a very old electricity meter (the kind with clockface dials, not even a 'digital' read-out). Is this something a non-electrician could identify, or would I need to get someone out?

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
