Hi,
It really depends on when your home was built and whether or not you have an older home that had an upgrade at one time or another.
For older homes, it was usually 60 amps and for the newer homes, it's usually 100 amp service.
Most homes today have 100 amp service, but lately, the trend has been installing a higher amperage service, usually around 200 amps.
All that means, is that you have that much power available, and of course, you're generally billed for what you use and not how large the available service is.
Hope that helps,
Cubby
