Heat not so much. Hate the heat with humidity in the Summer My 40x60 shop is fine in the Winter.45- 50 degree is fine for me.

OK,thinking about all of your input and I really appreciate it too, I am now looking at adding a 125 sub feed lug to my existing panel as suggested. Any pros or cons by using a 125A breaker instead. Like the one I am feeding my sub panel? Would like to run copper off of either to a box to the...

Bert, I would have to break the seal to show the socket. Terry, I agree the 100A breaker would be the easiest way. I am concerned with future use of this building. While I may not require alot of Elec. now , down the road when I am gone ,my Son might need more or maybe the next owner. So not...

Thanks Mark

Bert, if it matters the meter is a CL200 240V.

I have a 125A breaker at the bottom of the main panel feeding a sub panel at the other end of the shop. The POCO pole is 30 ft. from the meter. I was looking to tap from the meter , go underground behind the shop to the new building.

This is a Milbank 320 meter base with the dual lugs. Would this work? I am thinking I should consider running 200A service to the new building for future needs. I will not need it for what I will be doing now.

I assume the power from the 320A meter socket fed the 200 amp panel then out thru bottom lugs ,then over to the 125A panel.

The wire colors on that attachment did not concern me. I was just showing a meter with dual lugs. Don't even know the ampacity of that meter base either. I don't know what my meter base has as I would have to break the seal . dcg9381, how did the power split from the single meter to the two...

This was used by somebody wanting to quick charge a Tesla. Figured it could be a way to sent power to the other building. I don't want another meter . Have to many of them now.

I have 200 amp service at my existing shop fed by 1/0 3 wire by POCO to my meter. Can I tap off of that meter socket to run new underground power 200 feet to the new building? The new building is for equipment storage so 100 amp service would be ok. The existing shop load center has a sub...

I am considering the same scenario. However i think the 8-10'' stem wall needs to sit on a 18-24'' wide footer with vertical rebar placed in the footer pour. Can't do that with a trencher.

Yes. Had a shop addition in 97. Inspectors made me concrete up the floor drain in the old shop that was built in 63. It just daylighted outside the building.

I have 6 Cooper 400 watt Low bay[14 FT ] fixtures in my shop . 2 rows of 3 controlled by 2 switches. The back row is out and its time to repair. They are 15 years old now. I want to keep the fixtures because the are cut into the ceiling. I found a LED bulb that requires a ballast bypass. Thats...

Jackfre, I have come to that conclusion with the help of all of you. Thanks guys. Not expecting any help from EComfort who sold it to me. And really disappointed with the conversation with them. So yesterday afternoon I had the temp set at 76 degrees with both rooms on dehumidify mode. This...
