Hi, I am working a residential job that has 2 electrical services. One is a metered 400 amp serving the home, and there is a second metered 200 amp service supplying the pool equipment. The 400 amp is mounted on the west side of the home. The 200 amp is mounted on the property's block fence on the east side of the home. The pool and pool equipment are on the east side as well. They are building an addition on the east side of the home (just expanding the master bedroom and bath), and I need to get a couple extra circuits to this area for a jetted tub, new 20 amp bath gfci, and an undercab fridge and maybe ice maker. It will be major work to get these new circuits from the west 400 amp panel. Can these circuits be added from the panel on the east side of the property? In otherwords, can a single family home be fed circuits from two different metered services? Note: I have no idea why there is a second metered panel for the pool equipment. The home was built probably in the '80's.
Thank you, Chris

Barring certain exceptions, no.

I agree with Derek. "Approval" would be an AHJ call but what you propose would normally not be acceptable.
