Default Updating old house to 200 Amp service?

200 would be fine

If you have the following breakers;

50 electric range
40 central a/c
30 water heater
30 dryer
60 subpanel of 120V circuits
------
210 total

Then what is the appropriate service?

Assuming it's an overhead service, the procedure is to remove the
existing
service entrance cable, meter pan, panel, and grounding system and
replace
all with 200 amp rated equipment. In the Northeast this typically runs
from
$1500 to $2500
