    150 Amp Service Adding more Amperage
    The house we are looking at to buy has a 150 AMp Main breaker box. Can this be replaced with a 200 Amp box to give additional capacity in terms of load? I am planning to build a workshop that will have a 50 AMP sub panel to provide 30 AMP 220 and several 20 AMP 110 circuits
