Default do I need to upgrade to 200 amp service?

I certainly understand your points, but this is a townhome and other
than finishing the basement I dont think many people buying these
houses really consider adding tons of extra circuits. And actually
the existing panel is only 10 years old, in great shape, and is made
by GE. So...I guess I'll price out adding a subpanel versus running
the longer runs of 12/2 cable. It may not actually be that much more
to add a subpanel, and I guess it really isn't much different than any
other home run. Thanks again for the advice.


well we now know your panel is pretty new and up to date, something no
one else asked

so while getting prices for sub panel vs longer 12 2 runs why not get
price for 200 amp upgrade just for the heck of it.
