Re: The renovation continues ... today new 400 amp service! said by Draiman:said by alkizmo:said by TA63:I can't begin to imagine the need for 400A. Sometimes it's because of the house's livable sqf that puts it in the 400A requirement, not because there are enough appliances needing it. I wouldn't even want to take a guess at the size of that house! From OP:
The area added to the house is currently calculated as 1,800 on to a 3,200 sq ft house |

And I think that may be the case with the OP which is why I posted what I did. No where have I seen the OP mention that he needed due to demand.
Here is a post from 2010 for a 4900 sq foot home requiring 400 AMP service.

1800 + 3200 = 5000 Sq ft |
