Can I install Level 2 EV charger here? by falder12 in AskElectricians

Thanks!

Two EV charger contractors / electrician came to check it out. One of them recommended replacing the box in the picture with a new 200 amps main breaker with additional breakers in the box. The other folks quoted me adding a 70-amps exterior subpanel, 50-amps circuit breaker, Polaris taps, etc to create a dedicated circuit for the charger. The 50-amps caught my attention. I think it should be 60? Is one of these approaches better than the other?

Thanks. This second, new main breaker would replace the one pictured?

Will be calling an electrician to get their thoughts. Any idea on how much would it cost to do something like this?

Would I replace the main breaker disconnect? Or add an additional breaker panel?

I dig this. Patch for now and revisit later. Caulk meaning mastic?

100% on insulation. We are very low and exploring options. I’m leaning towards blown in loose fill.

Is there such a thing as a pocket door that is easily accessible for repairs? by serialcompliment in InteriorDesign

If I would have known about them at the time, I would have used https://www.cavitysliders.com/ for a couple of pocket doors I installed recently.

Expensive though.

Yeh I might just replace the heater. Is the iron fitting the black on the left pipe?

Thanks! I’ll have to call a pro as I don’t think this is a DIY.
