Default Load center replacement

Actually, Waterloo North Hydro apparently provisioned all of the
houses in this neighbourhood the same - 200 amp feeders.

*The house is small enough(1300 square feet) that 200 amps would be
overkill without electric heat. *or a heavy duty shop or pottery kiln.





the buyer may prefer all sorts of new electrical things and you have
just discouraged a sale.......


if thats what you want thats fine....


ultimately its your wallet



buyers want 200 amps because it gives them room to grow....

add AC, a electric stove, and electric dryer. and there you go 200
amps......

while 100 amps is plenty for YOU theres no way for you to know what
the buyer may want.....

by not upgrading you will be locking out a bunch of buyers
