It looks as if my wife and I will be moving into a new house, which would allow me to expand my workshop from its current one-car garage size to an over-sized 2 car garage, and I will be hiring an electrical contractor to bring electrical service to the garage. (We are trying to finalize the purchase of a short sale house that has taken FOREVER, but that's another story!) If we are successful, and it now appears that we will be, I will need to decide if I should get 200 amp service or if a 100 amp will suffice.

Following is a list of the larger stationary tools I either already have or plan on having some day. Of course, not listed, are all the smaller hand held tools and accessories most of us have in our shops. I am not yet aware of the amp requirement for the ductless HVAC I will have installed or that for the overhead lighting.

Any opinions on the size of service I might require for a one man hobby shop? The total here is 158 amps not including the HVAC, the overhead lighting, the air filter, or the portable hand tools.

Thanks.
