how old is the main service cable? its likely ancient and ideally
upgrade to 200 amp main with new everything.

the main panel cost difference between 100 amp and 200 amp is pretty
small. plus you can get more breakers in a 200 amp panel


Not necessarilly true. Very often the only difference between a 100
and a 200 is the main breaker - the same number of breaker slots
available on each.

Yep. REALLY small. Like ten bucks.

My mistake. More like $40 difference.
