Electricity Act 1992

Disciplinary provisions - Investigations

147D: Investigator must give notice to occupier of dwellinghouse

You could also call this:

“Investigator must tell you before entering your home for an investigation”

If an investigator wants to enter your house for an investigation, they need to follow some rules. First, they must tell you in writing at least 10 days before they ask for permission to enter. This is called applying for a warrant. Then, before they actually come into your house, they must show you a copy of the warrant. The warrant is a special document that allows them to enter. These rules are there to make sure you know what’s happening and to protect your rights as the person living in the house.
