    You won't be able to shut down power on 1/2 of the house if needed.
    Do you have 1 or 2 Electrical panels for the 2 halfs?

    Something here does not jive.
    There is no way there is two meters and only one service disconnect.

    Could it be that the other disconnect is in another location? A code violation but not unheard of.

    Agree something is off here. Are the meters after the breaker panel? What wire size comes off the panel and what size breaker
