:rolleyes::rolleyes:I'm looking to change my Fuse Box (House) from a 100/amp to a 200/amp main fuse box for more space to add outlets 120/v & 240/v is there going any issues with the power from the electric pole or wiring from meter to new box:rolleyes::rolleyes:? (Don't know if the above 120-240 should be amp or volts)


Also is there a way to remove the tag from the box at the meter with calling the electric company?

Any service change must involve the utility company, esp removing the seal on the meter.

You may want to check their terms and conditions, and you will discover removal of a seal without their knowledge is a criminal offense, as would doing electrical work without the proper permits.

This statement:


(Don't know if the above 120-240 should be amp or volts)illustrates that you need an electrician.
