In addition, we need to track down a 125A main breaker to replace the existing 100A main breaker. According to NV Energy, the service to our house is a maximum 125A unless we spend a high four figure sum of money to have a new 200A line run to the house and the main box replaced. We'd rather not spend that money, so instead we'll have to get a Zinsco-type (the older style, not generally in stores anymore) 125A breaker, and Lisa will need to work out how to change the main breaker without being able to disconnect the utility feed. Lisa has replaced main breakers on live lines on houses on Oregon, so she is aware of the danger involved. She says she can see how to do it, but it's still something that will have to be approached quite carefully.
