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!

then you upgrade your kitchen..... code calls for at least 2 dedicated
20 amp GFCI circuits plus one for dishwasher, one for fridge, just a
kitchen can eat up 6 breakers
