Any electricians here know what this might cost? Based on what I need and want to do, I will have to either add a sub box, which stretches my already stretched power. Everyone is suggesting I just upgrade to 200 amp service. Any rough guesstimates what this costs to have the power company come out and do this? I would be buying my own box, and main breaker. I would get the same type (cutler-hammer) so that I could re-use my existing breakers.

So they will shut it off at the pole, then I can have the box replaced and main breaker, and all my existing breakers, then they will come back out and inspect it? Then hopefully turn it back on if all is well? Why does the meter need to be replaced? Or does it? I was told it did have to be... |
