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.

I just did this to my house.
Upgraded from 100 amp to 200 amp. Put a 100 amp box out to the garage. Which kicks ass. And buried the overhead line to the house. Also had to install a new meter. My house was built in the early 70's and alot of things were not up to code. Original meter was under the deck, had to be moved 10 ft. Old 100 amp box didnt have the 36 inch clearance. Had to move that 4 feet to the right for clearance. Total cost was around $1800, which included the WE energy charges. |
