Detached Two Car Garage with a 200 amp Service
Yes you read that right.:lol:.
The customer is going to use it as a Glass Blowing Shop.
There will be about 24 receptacle outlets for work benches all GFCI protected because it is a garage.
also T5 HO fixtures. And two 60 Amp ovens.
And a heavy duty exhaust system..Total load is 156 AMPS
So the GC is the only one that i will work with cool dude and never rejects any of my bids.
So i give him a price and i get the green light.
So my first move is to call the POCO Babe who is a friend and ask for a meter # for a new service on this property she says sorry you have to submit a load calculation to the Engineer on line.Ok so i did just that.
24 hours later he calls and tells me i have to upgrade the service on the house..
I said SAY WHAT?
He tells me that is a fire hazard and the Electrical inspector will never allow that.:blink:
I said really he said yes it is in our rule book as well..
that is not the case at all because i read through the whole book and there is no such rule
So i call the Electrical inspector and we meet on site and he says your plan is cool so he calls the poco and gets the same stuff as me so he is going to get on their case next week.
What the poco wants increases the cost of the job by about $5200 with all the extra stock and labor ..
What do you guys think is right.?
