When we bought our home in Evanston (suburban Chicago) five years ago, it had 60 amp service supplied through about 24 screw-in fuses on a central panel and five extension panels. This was inadequate to power just the lights, fuses blew during the broker's open house where they like to turn on all the lights to show what a bright, airy house it is. After the closing, the first thing that I did was to have it upgraded to 200 amp service on a breaker panel - five years ago this cost about $2000, including getting larger wires from the ComEd pole to the house. If I had to do it today, I would go even higher, as I have added a garage that itself has 60 amp service.
