    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.
