 we did all our chantier supply via the phone, then they sent us the various forms which we scanned and emailed back to them, we purchased our edf approved coffret via ebay and edf phoned to see if they could supply the next day but we hadnt got the coffret or the wire so they came the week after, put the coffret on the pole, connected it and left my dh to connect it our end.

very simple and about 200e I think it was

Or you could just buy a generator. If you're living there you might need lights - consider solar power. Works for me.

Hope you can help. We want to run our house on a generator as we do not plan to move for 5 years and will only visit for 2 months a year. Have researched and got so many opinions from salesmen on diesel generators that I am now CONFUSED. Want moderately priced LOW noise generator 5KW just when we visit. Suppose you are not allowed to name yours here! When we move we can justify the extreme cost that EDF seems to want to connect us.

Many thanks
