Well I got the engineer from duke energy out to my home / shop (I use a 3 car attached garage) today. I wanted to know what it would take to increase my service to 400 amps from 200. what he suggested was just adding on a 400 amp meter base that could handle (2) 200 amp panels and keep my home on one and the garage on the other.
My question: Has anyone else done this and how has it worked out for you.
