This will determine what circuits you need and the amperage of each. You will also need to determine the layout of equipment so that the feeds are in the proper location. You then need to determine if you have enough circuits in an existing panel or need to run a subpanel. You also need to know if the amps supplied by the power company are sufficient or if you will have to "heavy up" your service. Do the preliminary design work and then get 3 bids from electrical contractors that you know or are recommended to you by those you trust.
