Are you installing LCTs at an existing building?
If you are installing LCTs at an existing mutli-occupied building, you may need to alter or upgrade the existing electricity supply as you may not have enough capacity or the correct set up to be able to connect LCT to your property.
If you are unsure if you need to upgrade your existing supply, you will need to contact the landlord of the building or the LCT installer who will be able to advise you. Once confirmed, your landlord can then apply to upgrade your electricity supply.
