    Hello.

    Like a civilized man, I would like to have electricity in my basement.
    However, none of the neighbors will allow me to connect to the electrical wiring in the basement corridor and this is even understandable, because no one will pay for the electricity that only I use.

    I would like to know how much it costs to set up and connect a legal energy meter by ZE.

    Is the game worth the candle at all?

    It won't pay off, better set up a sub-meter.

    Are you thinking about setting up yourself and settling accounts with your neighbors?
    Does ZE also assume such sub-meters?

    Pull the cord from your home to the basement (if possible). You can set up a sublet if your neighbors trust you (some may think that you will cheat). In order for everything to be correct, the meter and installations should be made by a licensed electrician.

    I have permissions, but the neighbors will not allow it, and I have over 20m from the apartment to the basement, I live on the top floor and also diagonally with the basement, that's the problem :(

    The apartments are already purchased, ownership (though not all yet)
    We are now managed by a company that deals with such things. The company was chosen by our local management (one person from each cage)

    Talk to the administrator of the building, he should allow you to connect an additional meter on the basement (administrative) supply line, or from the main node (people from the power industry are needed for this). Energetyk can only set up a meter, and you can do the rest, it will reduce costs.

    Electricity meters to the main connection and further are under the sole "care" of the utility company. Behind the meter, you can safely assume Ski and the rest of the installation.

    Ok, I'll talk to them.
    I wanted someone else to do it because of the neighbors.
    If you come from ZE and connect me to electricity, then no one will pick on it, if I do it myself, there will be talk about a kant, etc.

    And is it possible to simply report to ZE that I want electricity and they will do it to me, or does there have to be some approval from the management board?

    In another housing estate, a light bulb and a socket in each basement are the norm, when I tell someone, nobody needs it, because "I have a flashlight", or old ladies walk with candles, which has already resulted in two basement fires ...

    Rather, agree it with the building manager, and then with Energetyka.
    These sockets are pulled from the flats, or the residents are tricked into not abusing them and paying the bill together, eventually there are additional meters or sub-meters.

    Don't start with ZE with one light bulb and socket because it really won't pay off.

    The situation in that housing estate is that electricity in the basement has always been connected in every room. The entire installation is common to lighting in staircases, intercoms, etc.
    kWh is distributed to all residents and everyone is satisfied.

    For me, the situation is a bit different, because I would spend quite a lot of time there, I wanted to do a small workshop there and make my hobby there ;) Light bulb, laboratory power supply, soldering iron ...

    Not much, but one of my roommates may have some concerns, so I wanted to get it legal.

    But I guess I just have to "dig" in the privacy of my home, or let go of the 30m cable in advance ...

    One of the neighbors has electricity on the left, but the situation is so good that there is a lamp on the wall of his basement, he drilled under the lamp and connected to the lamp, but I am not a boor and I will not fight like a child that he has it I want too ;)

    There is either a cable or a sub-meter on the administrative line. Or you can borrow a generator and the neighbors will settle over the noise.

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem. There is electricity in the basement, but only light bulbs (no socket). If I would like to recharge the battery or manipulate something with a drill / contact, I rob my neighbors and they will definitely cling.

    Maybe you've already talked to the administration? There are chances? Maybe you know any estimated costs of connecting a meter from ZE or a submeter by administrations?

    Hello .
    The administration looks reluctantly at such "workshops" in the basements, so the matter of the sub-count is very problematic, rather do not count on such an arrangement.
    Counter founded by ZE? think, setting up costs and then fixed fees which are unprofitable with low energy consumption. :cry:
    The only reasonable solution is a little bit of your own work and 30 meters of cable. :D
    Regards .

    Probably when he stretches the cord from the house to the basement, the neighbors will accuse him of dragging it from the basement to the house.

    How was the matter handled? I will be in a similar situation soon.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenges of legally connecting electricity to a basement, particularly when neighbors are unwilling to share the existing electrical infrastructure. The user seeks information on the costs and feasibility of installing a legal energy meter through the utility company (ZE). Responses suggest that setting up a sub-meter may be more cost-effective than a full connection, especially given the potential high fixed fees associated with low energy consumption. Engaging with the building's administration is crucial for approval, and licensed electricians should handle installations to ensure compliance. Some participants recommend running a cable from the apartment to the basement as a practical solution, while others highlight the importance of neighborly trust and cooperation.
