I am having some issues with an inspector. He tells me we need to supply
100A at 120vac to the house panel according to code.

Hey Jeremy,

In the old days, folks often had 60 amp services.  Today a 200 amp
service is often recommended, but he is right in that you can no longer
install a 60 amp service as 100 is now the minimum.  

This would be code for connecting a home to the utility service
provider.  You aren't doing that.  Sounds like he found this in the NEC
and he's holding onto it like a pit bull, unable to see anything else.

Good luck -- Kurt
