How can I tell the max Amp provided to me from the Power Company to my home to see if I can add a hot tub?
There are two breaker boxes and the meter panel. The outside breaker has 3 breakers for the A/C and one 100amp(labeled "main") that must go to the inside sub breaker. When I flip that "main" outside breaker the A/C continues to operate.
The combined Ampage of all those outside breakers is 180. How can I tell if it's acceptable to add another 50 amp breaker for hot tub.
One electrician claims they are only providing 100amp max from the company to the house. If that's the case they are already way overloaded. What's another 50 Amps?
By the way....there a few higher amp curcuits in the home we don't even use. Such as water heater (solar) and wall unit A/C's.
The front faceplate of the meter should say voltage and eithr wattage or amperage.
The water heater should be 30 amp. the A/C units if window units should be 15 amp . if built in the wall could be 15,20,30 or 50 amp.
