As long as you provide proper overcurrent protection (ground-fault and short circuit protection), and properly size branch circuits to each unit from the 200-ampere panelboard, you should be good to go.

If we assume the 100 amps is already figured in with the 100 amp breaker and feeder than you would not need to do it again. Also I would not consider a heat pump continuous load but it doesn't matter since we need to figure it at 125% anyway.

The max HVAC Breaker size is 100A for each I wanted to do a 200A panel over two 100A disconnects they are close together.

A 200 should be adequate but...any resistance backup heat required? Our area would require 20KW backup for each of those units. Simultaneous.
