remove circuit from panel

If that's the case then the dryer should have an individual branch circuit ahead of the 100 A circuit breaker. You do have an additional 100 amps to spare don't you?

Thats what I am doing the post for, to decide what to take off the inside panel and move to the outside disconnect where I have 100 more amps available. So far no one has voted for the dryer, the post are leaning toward the heat pump.

Well I wouldnt be suprised if they turned the dryer on and opened the dryer door . I had to strip down to tee shirt in 40 deg weather to work on the inside panel. They had thermostat on 85 deg. While i am burning wood at home to save on heat bill . It is section 8 housing . No wonder the breakers trip. Ha ha

Take a look at NEC 210.23(B), (C) & (D) for circuit ratings higher than 20 amps. What is the rating for the heat pump circuit?

i dont see why circuit rating would affect moving the circuit to the outside panel but the heat pump draws 17 amp at 240 v and is on its own 30amp branch circuit

Okay, then move the heat pump circuit. Rule say's that cord-and-plug-connected equipment shall not exceed 80 percent of the rating for a 30A branch circuit.
