Bill's right, forget about rewiring the whole place.
We're looking at splitting service at the firehouse into three sections, installation of new service to each or the residences upstairs and leaving the old three-phase system in place for the business downstairs. It's fucking expensive.
We need an electrical contractor to install 200 amp service to our portion of the firehouse. I'll be doing all the wiring myself, the contractor will provide
a meter main
service drop
200 amp panel
and pull the necessary permits
The city will provide the pole and power line.
I figure it's going to cost us at least $5000. The first bid I got was $8000.
100 amps is typical for a household. Your place is probably around 40. My little place on 5th had 100 amp service and it's own panel as it had once been a commercial storefront.
Don't get me started on the process of condominiumization...
or permits...
