Default Upgrade to a three phase domestic supply?

I have moved to an old 5 bedroom house that I plan to renovate,
including a complete rewire.

This is also an opportunity to change the domestic supply from 100A
single phase to three phase, if I wish.

I am trying to find a website that has a list of typical currents
drawn by, or VA rating (not Watts - I don't know the appliance power
factors) of, different domestic appliances so that I can calculate if
I would exceed the 100A limit of a single phase supply. Anyone know of
such a website?

Aside from the danger of 415V in the house, would anyone care to
comment on the risk/reward of a domestic three phase supply? (E.g.
higher standing charge?). I do not intend to use any three phase
equipment in the house.

Thanks for your help.

Steve
