Hello everyone,
I have an older house (1950's) and the service breaker located at the front
of the property has a 40 amp Sq D type XO breaker that has gone bad. I have
been unable to find a replacement except for some used units for 70 dollars.
Home depot has a kit with the power meter holder as well as 6 20amp breakers
for 49. I would much rather upgrade to this then use the existing old
equipment.
My question is do I have to get a permit to switch these? Will the power
company come out and disconnect me from my old box to the new one I install?
How much do electricians normally get to do this upgrade?
Thanks,
Mark
