Since there seem to be so many electrical threads, I thought I'd jump in. I'm having some work done on my house, part of which will include upgrading my current 100 amp service to 200 amp. My basement shop is located in the unfinished portion of the basement where the electrical panel is located. I have three dedicated circuits for my shop (all 20 amp 110v), and the current panel is full. Since they'll be upgrading me to 200 amp service (with a new panel), I was thinking about keeping the old panel to use as a sub-panel for the shop. I haven't proposed this to the contractor yet (so I don't know how much extra they'll charge). Apart from saving space in the new panel, is there any advantage to having my shop on a separate subpanel?
Thanks,
Bryan
