Hi!

I assumed that you can run the old and the new connection - the EDF will be happy if you pay 2 connections.

I am not a specialist, but it can be certainly be done on one connection.

If you have an electrical heating it may be worth while to consider a " Tarif Tempo "

See more details here ( at present the 2nd link is not operating - )

EDF Bleu Ciel

Anyway the EDF can help you here and counsel you.

Now it is not quite clear if you are doing the wiring yourself.

I would like to draw your attention to 2 points which could be of consequence, if you do the work yourself, since French norms are specific.

- if you have a new counter, your complete electrical installation will have to be checked.

- from 1.1.2009, there is a diagnostic electrique, and if you were in a case were no check is made, when the house is sold, there could be problems.

Therefore there are real arguments, why the wiring should be by a French authorised electrician

Yours,
