upgrade to SQ D homeline ?

Hi Guys,

I am trying to upgrade my old 100 AMP zinsco electrical panel. Unfortunately, all the electrician I talked to , are not giving in my request of my having a panel with copper bus.

I have been given reasons like meter combo not available ( SQ D QO panels), siemens/murray not available etc.

My panel is outdoors and I am trying to upgrade to 200A service. I will also have four 10 AWG dedicated lines with Oyaide R1 receptables ( all within 10 feet from panel)

Is it OK to with SQ D homeline ? Please help.

My system is midfi
a) Speakers: Focal Electra 1027 BE
b) Amp: CJ classic sixty
c) Pre amp: CJ ET3SE
d) SVS SB-13 ultra
e) Cardas interconnects/speaker cable
f) Power chord: Shunyata

The Square D Homeline series has aluminum bus and uses cheap branch circuit breakers compared to their QO series.

Square D makes the Homeline series line so they can compete with their residential panel competition.

I personally would not want the aluminum bus.
