Choosing a service size from the load evaluation
Discuss existing demand, proposed equipment and the supply arrangement. A defined evaluation provides a sounder basis for comparing options than selecting the largest familiar rating first.
Ask what assumptions support the proposed rating. Equipment size, existing condition and installation scope should be explained separately rather than inferred from a larger number.
What should support the proposed service size?
A familiar amperage is an equipment rating, not an explanation of the property's demand. The evaluation needs the current installation and equipment plan as a basis.
MKB can discuss the resulting capacity choice and components involved. Comparing complete options should include their installation and coordination scope, rather than treat the largest quoted number as automatically the most appropriate solution.
Details to include with this request
