Electrica Question on adding Electric Furnace
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:52 pm
The Panel outside of my mobile home is made by square D and has a 100 amp double pole breaker in it, but has more room to put other breakers. The Panel in my home is 100amp and my range and furnace are gas. I bought a Miller 17kw electric furnace to replace the gas one. It takes one 60amp breaker and one 30 amp. My question would be, could I run this with my 100amp service or should I buy a new breaker panel for the inside like 125 amp or something. I don't think the wire could do a 150 panel. Any advice would be great. The service wire coming from the outside panel is aluminum but the wire coming from the meter is enough for 200 amp. I need to do this in a cost effective legal way. The first pic is the inside panel and the second pic is the outside panel.
