Yes, the rules are probably different depending on the region
and the power
Co. However, my understanding was that, if you can justify the
need for more
Amps (electrical heating, woodworking shop, etc.), the power
company is
obligated to upgrade the wires and meter at no charge. I know
someone who
even got them to replace a whole transformer to accommodate him
in a rural
area. Did you try to be a little more forceful with your
company? Maybe
consult with your local representative for more info?

I called my utility. They want $150 for conversion to 200 amp.
150 amp would be free.
