Hey folks wondering if anyone could give me an opinion on this service upgrade. I have a competent electrician, he is a journeyman but said he cannot pull the permit for this service upgrade. I have a 100 amp panel that we are going to upgrade to a 150. We are pretty sure the drop wire from the pole won't do 200a. I am going to call pg&e and make sure it is good for 150.
Can I call them and have their guy pull the meter for us to do the change?
We were hoping to act like we are doing just what we are supposed to and not get any problem from pg&e. I don't have a lot of money and I can get this dude for a trade. We are doing everything by the codebook. New wire coming down into the meter main etc.
So the question is can we get away without a permit? Or can the homeowner pull the permit? The electrician thinks so.
Thanks everyone.
