    I see you didn’t really read what I wrote and are just talking about running a new circuit. That is one of the 3 upgrades I need.

    A panel upgrade is not a small operation and I highly doubt anyone could do it in under an hour. A panel upgrade consists of removing all breakers from the panel, disconnecting all wires, disconnecting all conduits from the panel pulling all wires out of the panel, (in my case enlarging the hole in the wall for the new panel), reinserting all wires, attaching conduit, redoing internal panel wiring, and putting breakers back in.

    I’ve done plenty of basic electrical work. Electrical work is not complex, it just takes the knowledge of what is to code and if there are specialty codes for the state, county and/or city. I do not have time to study all the code and plan the upgrade.

    Future proofing upgrades is very much in my interest. If I have to touch something or upgrade something…its going to be overdesigned/overbuilt because I don’t ever want to have to touch it again.
