These two massive apartments were supplied by 1-100 amp service….and yes, each unit had 1-100 amp/20 circuit panel that was overloaded .
It was time for my client to upgrade and consider future upgrades…They wanted future breaker expansion for the future Heat Pump System for each apartment.
Two -200amp meter socket disconnects with 8-16 breaker spaces in each disconnect(outside).
Looking in the future with foresight is what I recommend.
It is easy as can be when the electrical breakers can support/supply power for the heat pumps from the outside of the structure vs obtaining power from the inside of the structure.
Keep it simple.
