Yes ,they should be able to combine it all into one box for you. That looks pretty common going by the work i do. Thats a very common setup.
Upgrading from 110 voltage to 200 amp. What size panel do I need?

These days , they will replace that box next to the furnace with a new breaker box for just that one breaker. Or they may just run that wire into the furnace an forget about the box. its not needed.

Yes sir. you may be correct in assuming the one in the garage is added on later then 1947 but its all normal looking and believe it or not , that is grandfathered in so its not "against code" although its "unsafe". The wiring going into the panel appears to be newer wires , hopefully you have no knob an tube still running.

So the electricians arrived this morning and started work on the panel. They are moving the panel from its previous location in our kitchen to a interior wall in our mudroom. Crazy amount of work! Tomorrow the power company will run a new line from the pole to the new mast they installed today and finish hooking up the circuits. Feeling very fortunate!

Yes , that is a LOT of free work. Good deal ! i love to see the lil guy get help. EVERYTHING in your pictures is your responsibility , not theirs. From them wires hanging out of the new pipe to everything inside , its all on you to pay for, so yes that is a super win for your family !!

Yeah we feel like we won the lottery. Now all I have to do is learn to pull wires to a few areas of the house, I personally feel having grounds are a good thing even though people suggest otherwise.

Line goes over a road and apparently wasn't up to code height wise.

I'd be more concerned with no romex connectors though the top of the panel. I always put them on prior to running romex into the panel but there's many different ways to skin a cat..

Licensed electricians doing the work so got to assume that they know what they are both doing.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not completely up to date on electrical equipment/parts/tools. There very well could be a connector you put on afterwards . The ones I've always used , you cannot put on after wire has been run into the box/panel.
