Depending on the size and age, a Kansas City home will either have 60-amp, 100-amp, or 200-amp service.
This is what you can expect.
It’s a common misconception that 100-amp electrical service delivers more power than 60-amp electrical service.
Actually, the biggest difference between the service sizes is the number of circuits they make available.
This is the standard service size for today’s new homes.

This service requires a larger electrical panel and heavier gauge wires. Upgrading an older property to 200-amp service can be complex and expensive.
