    100A panel board with no main switch
    I'm trying to replace my panel board but after the meter, there is no main switch. Do I have to call my utility company to de energized and install the new panel or a certified electrician can do it energized?

    Where I live it is OK for the home owner to do some electric work on his own house, (not a rent house) but he has to get it signed off by a licensed electrician.
