New inground going in and electrician is scheduled to do his work this weekend.
PB includes standard 20amp circuit with manual timer, pool light hookup, connections to pump, heater and SWG. All within 50 feet of panel. My panel is roughly 100 feet away.
Electrician called me and asked if I was interested in a 40 amp sun panel installed by the pool instead. Up charge of $700. He said would be wise if I plan on installing a pool house or kitchen area etc in the future. We do not plan a pool house or kitchen, but I do plan on installing some landscape lights, post lights and possibly a water feature in the future.
Thoughts on upgrading to the 40 amp sub panel? Hard for me to figure out if it would be needed for what I want to do out there. I would definitely not want to spend the extra $700 unless necessary and it made sense to do so now.
Thanks for any help/info.
