I need to upgrade my main breaker panel and subpanel. The way my house is rigged up right now does not seem to safe to me and is kinda old. It has the main panel outside and a smaller one inside and they BOTH run off the meter socket and neither have a cut off breaker. I want to buy all brand new stuff and put a 200 amp main outside with a 200 amp cut off breaker ( a new 200 amp meter socket as well). Then I wanna run a 125 amp subpannel off a 100 amp breaker from the main. The problem is I'm not 100% sure what my service line is. The only indication I found is on the panel inside my house and it says "75 amp max".
So My question is this: Can I still put a 200 amp main panel with a 200 amp cut off breaker on a 70-75 amp service? I'd rather not back feed if I don't have to. And I'm not sure if I wanna spend a lot of cash getting Oncor over here to upgrade my service line if they even can upgrade to a 200 amp around here.
