In order to provide you with the amount of electricity that you need every day, your breaker panel should be able to provide at least 100 amps of power. In older homes, it was common for an electrical panel to have the capacity of only 60 amps. This is not sufficient for most homeowners\u2019 everyday needs. If you live in a home where many electrical devices are in use at any given time, you should have an electrical panel with at least a 200 amp capacity to ensure that your power needs are being met at all times.<\/p>\n
