I bought an older home and it appears that the previous owner did some electrical modifications of his own. What he didn't do was install a main breaker between my meter and my panel box.
What is the best way to determine my electrical service from the power company so I can know which size breaker to install? There's a bunch of gibberish written on the meter. I am going to have an electrician do this but I still want to know what he is doing. I have a 30 position breaker box and right now it is full, so I will probably have the box upgraded to a 40 slot box at the same time. Not having a main breaker seems to me to be a fire hazard as I go adding branch circuits.
Thanks
