[quote=Anonymous]We have a gas furnace and hot water heater and are in the process of getting central AC (yay!). We currently have 200 amp service and have been surprised that multiple HVAC companies want us to upgrade our service from the city to add 200 amps. Meanwhile, every electrician is doing load calculations and saying that it’s not only unnecessary, but will take forever (3-9 months) and the city might say no since we have buried lines that go to an overhead line across a busy street. We can’t start necessary electric or HVAC work because no one agrees on what to do. Could we really need another 200 or are these guys just giving us lazy information? House is 4000 sf, no big electrical things like a pool or hot tub, gas stove but other kitchen applicants are electric. No plans to add a car charger. We are a small family and we do sometimes entertain but would never have more than 4-5 people sleeping in the house, so it’s not like we have a 10 person electrical load.[/quote]
