You cannot simply replace the panel with a larger panel.

You wouldn't need to dig and replace cable if you "stay with 100A".
To your OQ, I would stay with 100A if all you have done is rewired the home and haven't added any significant loads. If you have added loads, or plan to, I would upgrade to 200A.
With this post, it is quite obvious that you should not be working on the electrical service. You need to call a licensed electrician.nhoj said:Would you say that I already have 220 going to the house and they cut it down before going into the house?
240 is the voltage in the house.
To determine your service size you do a demand load calculation.
The only things that I have electric id the Amplifier, Refrigerator, Microwave, dishwasher, TV, DVD Player, CD Player, and Computer. That is it.My opinion is that you are fine with a 100 A service as I do not believe you actually draw 70A. The calc may come out to that number, but it is rare to draw that much with no electric appliances except AC.
K_buz Is it true that if you change from 100 Amp to 200 Amp you will save energy and lower your electric bill?My opinion is that you are fine with a 100 A service as I do not believe you actually draw 70A.

Neither of these two will have any affect on your electric bill.K_buz Is it true that if you change from 100 Amp to 200 Amp you will save energy and lower your electric bill?
I was told this by selveal people and I just don't understand how that could be.
They told me that your applances would not work as hard and it would save the wear and trere on them and that would lower your electric bill allown.
I do know by going from 14-2 with ground to 12-2 with ground your wires will stay cooler and not over work themselfs.
No need to be scared all I am asking for is advice and you'll the one that should know the answer.This is starting to scare me...I'm out.
