I recently purchased a home that was built in 1997 and was a little bit surprised to find the home's electrical service to only be 100A. I would like to add at least one 60A outlet in the garage (NEMA 14-50 240V) for electric vehicle charging. Based on my novice load calculations, I think my current set-up has "tapped out" the 100A service and I will need to upgrade to a 200A service in order to safely accommodate the new 60A outlet. If I am incorrect, please let me know.
Some relevant info: the home has solar panels, electrical a/c (heater is gas), one oven and is about 2500 sq-ft. Location is Northern CA.
How much should I expect to pay for a licensed contractor to upgrade the electrical service from 100A to 200A?
Thank you.
