[QUOTE="cyberslider, post: 1995535, member: 13628"] The "new" house I will be moving to, probably in about 2 weeks, has 100 amp service. The breaker box has one spot in it that a double pole breaker can be added. Does "100 amp service" mean that the total load the system can handle is 100 amps at a time? Anyway, what I want/need is a 30 amp 240 receptacle wired in out in my garage for my welder. Can that be done? If my query about 100 amp service is correct, I'm guessing that could be a problem if I'm welding and the wife is cooking on the electric stove and the AC is on and the dryer is going. Could be a problem even without the welder? The house is in Mustang. Any OSA'ers that can do the work? Or do you recommend some one that can? What about upgrading the house to 200 amp service? I also plan to build a small shop out in the back as soon as possible and will want electric service. I will need 2 - 30 amp 240 volt attachments for that - one for the welder and one for the air compressor. Plus several 20 amp, 120 volt plugs and lighting. Would it be cheaper and/or better for the shop to have it's own service (meter)? TIA! [/QUOTE]
