I would bet that in 99.9% of all calculations that adding a 1500 laundry circuit will not change the service size.

If it does you basically have no room for added loads and should probably be thinking larger service anyway.

Or a reduction in the electrical load such as using gas appliances and Heating.

Owner OP is working for is too cheap to go with 200 amps - but is fine to spend same or more on gas appliances:blink: Range or dryer maybe not so big of a deal, but he has electric heat and water heater also.
Owner wants to add more now so its a go to upgrade the service. This will probably be for the best anyway. Now he can keep his laundry in both buildings which I’m sure will lead to happier tenants. Thanks guys for all the feedback.
