The main panel is only 100 amps, and I was mistaken - there are
actually 7 available slots, not 5 as I had stated before. Would you
still recommend upgrading to 200 amp service if I added the fact that
this is a townhouse - it is only 2 bedrooms and 1800 sqft. Thanks,


Depends on your power requirements. If you think you'll be pulling 80
amps or more, then upgrade to 200 amps.
