Wouldn't that require a service upgrade to the pole and then a new line strung?

No. Not a bad idea, though. If I had the space.

As everybody knows, you're nothing if you don't have a 400A panel.
Keeping up with the Smiths requires it!

So you could offer commercial grade electrical services to a filming crew. The state I moved to has a fast growing movie industry, and there's going to be more demand for properties to shoot TV series, movies, commercials, etc. Compensation is $1K and up a day, so it can be very lucrative for doing practically noting (except leave for the day). Netflix is here, and soon there will also be NBCUniversal less than a mile away.

Someone I know who works in the industry mentioned 400 amp could make my home more competitive, as the crew wouldn't need a "genni," which is slang for generator. In any case, the house needs an upgrade so I was interested in ballpark pricing for 400 amp.

If anyone is curious about this, google "Douglas house filming" and you'll learn about an old lady who owns a filming home in Rockland County. It's hosted something like 1,800 productions, including commercials and SNL skits.
