We're thinking of upgrading our 60 amp fuse box (presently overloaded)
to a circuit breaker panel. How do I know if we should get a 125 amp
or a 200 amp panel? According to Zillow.com our house is 1,240 square
feet, in case it's figured by square feet.

Thanks!

It's figured by what you estimate the electrical demand to be,
and then again by how many different circuts you want. What's the
price difference, and what size wire is your service drop?
The only reason I can think of to go with a smaller panel than
you can is if the price difference is a deal-breaker, or if
the larger size requires a new service drop and the smaller one
doesn't.
