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!

Figure one breaker for each fuse , and two each if you have doubled up
on circuits to fuses.
Get the cost from your utility for the monthly charges of 125 and 200
amp supplies.
What do you mean by this? You pay for usage.
Get the cost to upgrade from your current service to 125 or 200 amp.
If its the same go for 200 amp.
If you are planning on selling the home go for 200 amp supply.
Plan out your breaker panel, seperate kitchen from the rest of the
house , allow for water heater , stove , air conditioning on seperate
breakers.
