I have a good idea of what I will be powering in the near future. And yes the 100 amps will be oversized. But I can't peer into the future and know for sure what I may be powering. There is a living space that will be finished, possibly a hot tub installed and who knows what tools. Could it...

Honestly I don't know that I would use 100amp. I was trying to cover for anything that was added in the future. It is a 40x60 shop and eventually 1/4 to a half of it could be living area with bath, kitchen, workout area and maybe a hot tub. The shop area is a typical wood working setup and along...

We have a 40 x 60 shop I am wanting to put a 100 amp sub panel in. Right now I am just trying to price up everything I would need so I can decide if it’s financially feasible this year and I am hung up on the wire. We have 200 amp service at the house and from the box which is located outside...
