POV: Installing a 200 AMP Service + Panel, what you think? #hendythesparky #electrician

What happens here

Once power is confirmed off, begin by loosening the terminal screws that secure the old service cable within the disconnect. Carefully disconnect the old service cable from the terminals. Then, use an impact driver to remove the mounting screws that hold the entire old disconnect box to the wall. This allows for the complete removal of the old service cable and disconnect box.

Goal: Remove the old service entrance cable and the old 200 AMP disconnect box.
