Home owner big job
In the trade this is called a sub panel. It is a complicated job in as much as you have to know wire sizes, ampacity of wires and proper electrical workmanship. Such a project should be left to a licensed electrical contractor to take out the proper permits and call for proper inspections. By taking this route it will leave you confident that if any mishaps happen to the installation down the road your insurance company will be behind you 100%.

You want to install 200 amp service but the sub panel is on the other end of the house and you dont want to rewire the whole house all at once?

What is a fuse panel?
a place where all the fuses are located together. In the house this is where the power is controlled to the lights in the house ect, and can be switched on/off independent of other areas of the house if that's what you want to do and if it is possible with your fuse panel/board. A fuse panel contains electrical fuses or circuit breakders in a central location in a building, vehicle, etc.
I have 100 amp breaker box I want to put a 60amp double pole breaker in and run 60 amp wire to me garage. Do the y make a 60 amp breaker box with more then 4 breaker slots. or can you run 60 amp wire?
Rated for exactly 60amps you will find limited breaker spaces due to the rating of the hardware used in it's construction and air circulation restrictions from the equivalent limited enclosure area. When rated at a determined amperage level it is required to construct the device based on the worse case possible scenario which includes a continuous running load. This will determine it's minimum standards according to local and national codes for hardware, room, spacing, and, layout. This does not limit you to only this size panel though. As long as you install the 60amp breaker first in your house panel anything installed down stream {from the load side of the 60amp breaker will be protected up to 60 amps. Therefore you are permitted to exceed those ratings and still remain within code because regardless of what your load is, it can not exceed 60 amps without tripping the breaker. You can install a 12/24 {12-full size or 24-half size [mini's]} 100amp panel for additional breaker spaces and the cost difference is negligible. One code issue to consider is if the sub panel in the garage is not in line of sight of that 60amp breaker then you might want to install another 60amp breaker in the garage panel to interrupt the incoming power giving you the ability to work on/in the garage panel without the possibility of someone re-energizing it mistakenly. I would suggest before this to consult with an electrician for a load calculation to determine if there is 60amps of available power in the 100amp panel in the home. This panel may not have an over-current 100amp main breaker which means it is possible to exceed the panel rating of this unprotected panel. Installing a 100amp over-current device {breaker, fused safety switch, fuse block etc...} like your 60 amp breaker to the garage it will limit the total load to only 100amps. Good Luck and obtain all permits and full understanding of the project and safety protocols in it's regards.
You want to run power from your home you have a 200 amp in the house to a garage that you recently built you have 110 and 220 outlets The only 220 you plan on running is a small air compressor What?
The voltage for the air compressor is needs to come from a double (two) pole breaker. The size of the breaker needs to be 250% of the full load amps of the compressor. The wire size to the compressor has to be 125% of the full load amps of the compressor.
Can you install Electric meter on detached garage?
Question Needs Clarification!! If you are building a houseand you want the meter mounted on your detached garage to feed the house that is a question that your local utility or electrical inspector would hav to answer as it varies . If you want a meter on your garage that to would have to be answered by your utility as they have requirements about running service wires on residential property. they will probanly allow this as they usually charge more for having the service to a "commercial" building. The bse rate in my locality is twice that of a residential service. And even though it is your personal garage they consider it commercial in most places.
Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.

How much does it cost to move an electricity meter?
The meter is typically installed in the main circuit panel of the house. If you want to move it, you can do it as part of a service / panel upgrade. We did this when we moved into our new house - we replaced the 1950s vintage main circuit panel and 100A service with a newer 200A panel and service. It was about a grand, but we didn't actually move the panel from where it was, so it may cost more for what you want.

Custom Garage Doors?
You spent a lot to make your house your home. You furnished the interior and decorated the outside, adding shutters or planting flower beds. Take the next step and customize your garage door. Oftentimes, garage doors are neglected when buying a home. For example, a stone brick house with a plastic garage does not go well together. You would want to opt for a wooden door to keep the house looking continuous. At Carriage House, you get to customize your entire garage door, from the material of the door down to the shape of the handles.
