Kind of off the primary topic, but I have never understood folks posting questions on the internet asking about obviously non-code utility installations. I am even more amazed by the number of ". . . sure it will be okay" responses. Does anyone care that they are potentially creating a significant problem for the OP? Guess it is just me, but I don't want to be responsible for causing electrical supply or safety problems nor burning my property or my neighbor's property down. Of course all the "don't worry, be happy" posters will not be there when it is time for an insurance settlement or a pre-sale property inspection.
The OP already pointed out the small incremental cost of 3/4" vs 1/2" conduit. I am currently re-wiring a small water plant where no inspection is required. Even so, all of it is being re-constructed according to code. We are even going with oversize conduits and wiring so we can add service if required in the future. Again, a very small incremental cost when the overall cost of the project is considered, and way cheaper than removing sub-standard work and/or replacing it in the future.
When someone here buys a piece of property using any kind of financing, a pre-sale inspection is required. No inspector that I know will ignore sub-standard utilities. In fact, they require that the sub-standard work either be brought up to code, or be completely removed.
Of course this is the OP's property, so his choices are his choices. Just saying . . .
