I'm going to be replacing my rundown shed with a slightly larger one this spring.
The existing shed has a breaker box that my pool pump and heater are connected to. I'm trying to figure out if I need to hire an electrician to disconnect and reconnect the breaker box or if it's something that I can do. My electrical experience is limited to wiring electrical appliances and new light fixtures.
I'm considering two scenarios, and would love to hear feedback on the DIY first option.
Scenario 1: Cut the power to the breaker box and then remove it from the the shed wall but keep it connected to both my house and the pool equipment. I carefully dismantle the shed and build the new shed around the box and then secure it to the rebuilt wall. Can anyone walk me through — or point me to a description of —the process to unmount/mount a breaker box?
Scenario 2: I have an electrician come out, and not only remove the breaker box from the shed wall but disconnect from it the pool equipment and the power line from my house. I dismantle the old shed and then build the new shed and have the electrician come back and reconnect everything.
