The main circuit breaker on the side, at the outside out my house is
overheating and trips. All electricity inside the house gets turned
off when this hapens. It tends to happen whenever I use the AC on a
hot day. The electrician says that this 90 AMP main circuit breaker
needs to be replaced. The problem is that he says that they don't
make these 90 AMP circuit breakers anymore. They only have them in
100 AMP. He says it's safe to go up from 90 to 100 AMP.

Is this safe to do at my house? Your suggestions/advice would be
greatly appreciated.

First, if your house has a 90 amp service, it must be old.
Therefore, it is from a time before we had toasters, microwaves, and
all the gobs of goodies everyone plugs into the wall sockets.

If you want to just save and use your 90 amp panel, you need to go
through, and throw out about half your "stuff", as you don't have
enough electricity to run it all.

What a load of garbage. You have no way of knowing that.

[snip of utterly useless drivel masquerading as "advice"]

Whatever you do, have a licensed electrical company do it

She already hired a professional electrician to come out and look at
it. And
you think you know more about the situation than the guy who was
actually
there. What amazing arrogance. And what amazing foolishness.

lol, well stated!

Thank you for posting this, ALOE. This person is in my killfile, and I
otherwise would have not seen it. And thank you for your spot on
evaluation, information, and posts.
