Hey guys! As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I'm getting ready to have a pole barn built within the next couple months. 40x60 with 12' sidewalls. 30x40 will be heated and insulated, rest will be cold storage. Trying to get some quotes from electricians and they have some mixed ideas. I currently have 200 amp service to the house. Two of them want to run 100 amp service down to the shop (300') straight from that meter. The third guy wants to run a second service off the transformer about 30' away from my house and install a second meter at the shop. This would give me 200 amp service at the shop and an additional $10/month charge for the second meter; IF the power company will even allow that.
I guess my question is how much do I need???
Right now we are looking at 15 interior outlets, 1 exterior outlet, 4 pendant lights in cold storage, 7 T8 fluorescents in shop side, couple exterior overhead lights and 3 220 outlets for now. Heater will be radiant tube, couple overhead door openers, mig welder, 60gal compressor. Eventually a 220 electric/hydraulic shop press and maybe a 2-post car lift. Plus all your usual shop stuff.
Is 100 amp service going to be enough? Two are telling me yes, one is saying I need 200 if I can get it.
Thanks for any input from those with more experience than I!

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
