Getting a new electrical panel for the house.


Is there a certain SquareD model that you guys recommend over others and while it’s being replaced is there anything I should ask him to do while we’re there?

 

I’ve already got my dedicated 20amp runs to my room so I’m good there. 
 

Whole house surge maybe?

zazouswing,

what does this do?

 

I’d also ask for load balancing unless it’s 120 coming in -  and power quality monitoring for a week after install with waveform capture. They usually have or can rent the equipment to do these tests. It’s amazing what comes out of the plant sometimes and it’s an opportunity to see what you have. 

This is for 2500 sq ft home. Unfortunately I only have 150am service. We don’t have issues with breakers however I would like to have a panel that is 200amp and if we decide to upgrade the service to 200amp a then we’re at least set for the panel.

I like that Siemens panel but dang that sucker is costly. 👍🏻
 

my current panel has 20 spots.

Also, I'm liking that Siemens panel linked above but I'm having a hard time finding one. 

 

They also have them in the color white which is pretty nice. 

Sorry bringing up an old thread but I’m still in the process of getting this done. We’ve been doing a lot of remodeling of three bathrooms.

I don’t have another panel in or around the house. The electric comes in from the ground here where I live to a meter supplied by the electrical company and out to my 150amp electrical panel which supplies electric to each of my rooms/areas.

It’s a small panel and should have been a lot larger for this house (2500sq ft). We don’t seem to have issues with breakers tripping or anything. We don’t have solar or an electric vehicle. Not sure I need to upgrade my service to 200amp (it would be nice) but we don’t seem to have any issues.

However I would like to at least have a larger capable panel so that if I do decide down the road to upgrade the service to 200amp service my electrical panel is at least ready to go from there.
