Have a remodel to do and will sub out electrical.
Electrician I have used in the past said I cant do this.
Years ago I had the same situation. Small house with 100 amp service and customer does not want to pay for upgrade now but wants breakers. Instead of putting in just a 100 amp breaker box, I had a 200 amp Murray box put in and install a 100 amp main breaker instead of a 200 amp main. The box was still 200 amp to make a future upgrade easier. A murray 100 amp breaker fit in the same space as a 200 amp for the Murray brand. Which was not the same with square D. Since then if ever I contracted out any electrical we have used square D brand. But have this situation again and they dont make murray anymore. Is there another brand out there?
Electrician does not want to do this either. Use just a square D 200 amp box with a 100 amp square D line feed breaker because he saids maybe a problem with inspector.
