I have a 200 amp service that is completely used up..(all breakers used).
I would now like to add a 100 amp panel.
Can I tap off the existing 200amp panel?

| It can be done but I would highly recommend you get professional electrical help to do it. We normally don't give instructions on this site, because of liability issues. Jim

| thanks, I suppose I should have asked wheather or not I would have to up size the wire coming in from the meter. It is rated at 200amp, and since I would like to add a sub panel of 100 amp, would I need to then upgrade the incoming wire from the meter....thanks again
