Owner Walters wants to upgrade the electrical capacity of her older cottage to handle new gadgets, an HVAC system, and added wiring in a renovated kitchen and basement. If the service line from the utility pole is not sufficient, what should Walters consider?

Enhancing the electrical main disconnect.
Expanding the distribution panel.
Increasing the electrical service size.
Upgrading the house voltage.

The correct answer is: Increasing the electrical service size.

Walters should consider increasing the electrical service size. This involves upgrading the capacity of the electrical service to the cottage to handle the increased demand from new gadgets, an HVAC system, and additional wiring in the renovated kitchen and basement. By increasing the electrical service size, Walters can ensure that there is enough power flowing into the cottage to support all the new electrical requirements. Enhancing the electrical main disconnect, expanding the distribution panel, and upgrading the house voltage are not the most appropriate solutions in this scenario. While these actions may be necessary in certain circumstances, the priority in this case is to increase the electrical service size to meet the increased demand for power in the cottage.
