A 100A supply is 23Kw. here. Why would you need more than that?


11 WK spa heater, 15KW of residential heat, 5.5kw water heater, 8kw
range, 4.8 kw electric dryer and then you have your other loads.

It adds up pretty fast.


We have gas for all heating loads in 99% of homes.
All of the above would be gas fired here.

No-one uses electricity for heating unless there is absolutely no
other option.
And then is would be night time electricity on a cheaper rate.
Even then it would be more expensive than gas.
