Comcast Drills Electric Meter, Delivers Real Powerboost > Look at picture of electrical box

Look at picture of electrical box

We had a house where the main electric panel and the meter were on the outside of the house at the rear. The incoming line came through a conduit inside the wall that passed through the roof, where the line was brought in overhead from power lines in an easement between houses. It's very unusual for a main panel to be outside the house, but that's the way it was with this house. The inside of that wall was in the kitchen. Anyway, if someone had drilled into that wall in the kitchen at that point, they could have drilled into that conduit and hit 220V. It would be stupid to do that, but . . .

In reality, there is no such thing as a clean human being.

Code has required an outside disconnect here for a long time.

Easier to just have the whole panel outside directly under the meter, as it is on my spec place built in 1989.

Some customized houses in this neighborhood have a sub-panel inside & the main breaker/HVAC breakers on the outside panel.
