The seller disclosure I signed when I bought my house last week had no such question. I'm in Ohio.

The 200 amp box that I already bought has the meter built into it (at least the big round hole and connectors).

As a EU dweller, this is really fascinating. 100A? 200A??!??

My whole house (~2000 square foot) is fed by 20A main fuses. (3-phase 50Hz 220/380V). Heat is also provided by electricity (via heat pump) and I live I cold climate. I am even contemplating downsizing to 16A fuses as it will likely work (and is cheaper). I don't think you can order more than 63A connection to a house.

Yeah, I know you have 110V and some weird 2-phase 220V thing but still, 200 Amps?!! Cables must be thick as a mans Chrum!
