Upgrading My Own House to 1,000 Amps

Synopsis:
Joel doesn’t buy suits and ties, gizmos and gadgets, or toys and trinkets; he just wants power. Electrical power, that is. With 8 kids approaching (electric) driving age, big cooking and cleaning appliances, a pool out back, and a carriage house over the garage, there is a big need for big power.

While 1,000 amps should reliably get the job done for many years to come, there is a smarter (and cheaper) solution. Generally home electrical services are calculated according to the maximum draw, but if the panel could keep track of which loads were on and off, less power would be required. SPAN is our current preferred smart electrical panel for this very reason. Follow our channel for more installations and demonstrations of how SPAN can make your house genius.
