Add a new electric meter?

[Lucas Hammer]

So I have a two flat, but it has common stairways and a laundry room. Will ComEd add a meter that I can have an electrician just wire to those areas even if it doesn't directly correspond to a unit? We'd be looking at adding a third meter that we'd pay so the tenants wouldn't be responsible for the common areas at all.

If possible, has anyone done this or have an estimate of the cost to see if it's worth it?

Just did this in Jefferson Park. You'll need a new meter and electric panel. Had to update the other meters as well and it ran me about $3,500. You have to have an electrician prepare everything and he tells ComEd, then ComEd will come out and install the new meter within a month. Message me and I can refer an electrician who was great to work with.
