Hi all,
I am planning a bit of a rewire for a friend and as I put together a plan for the house I am wondering if the 200 amp service is up to the task
I have put together the below and I think the sub panel that is at the bottom will be my sticking point.
The Sub panel powers a dock and a small shed outside that has a mini split system - I was planning on doing 15 amp single circuit for the shed lights and outlets and a 15amp single circuit for the mini split. Factor in 1 x 15 amp for dock lighting / outside outlets and then the 2 x 30 amp are for the dock / shore power and his son is planning on using them the nights he comes over with his boat. In the summer he may run his AC's to keep his boat cool and run up his dads bill on that dock so I have to factor in the full 60.
I'd appreciate the thoughts of the people that know the average loads and whether I am going to be ok. Four items (ac units, gas boiler and furnace) I do not have the specs to hand so I have guessed sizes and put confirm in the comments.
Thank you for any and all advice
