Sauerkraut57The first question is, why do you need a new box? If the answer to this is, there are no more slots, then you will have to. If the answer is anything else, then the answer is better off not to.
If you have significant electrical experience, then you can do this. If not, I would call a professional.
The first step is to determine what is the maximum size main can be supported by the incoming wiring. Second, you will have to have the power company cope out and pull your meter or disconnect the incoming power. Third, you can then replace the breaker box with the proper box.
