Can someone help me calculate the electrical load for my new house?
I used to know how to do this, but I haven’t done it for so long, I can’t remember how. I don’t know the nameplate data on the equipment because we haven’t picked it out yet. I’m going to have 2 split heat pump systems, one at 2.5 ton and the other at 1.5 ton. I will have an 80 gallon electric water heater, a Jacuzzi tub, dishwasher, electric stove, fridge, freezer, washer, electric dryer, garage with automatic door opener, 4 bedroom, 3.5 baths within 3100 square feet including the basement. To calculate it, just use whatever the average wattage is for each appliance since I don’t know what it is yet. I appreciate any help I can get.
sirknightrob, I do have electric heat. I have 2 heat pumps which are split units. One uses 10kw and the other uses 5kw.
I’ve tried the online load calculators and the last one I did said that my total amp load was 194 A. Maybe I did something wrong, but that’s pretty close to 200 A! Maybe I need a bigger service….
Your electrical contractor will do this for you as part of his service.
I hope you aren’t going to believe the untrained and unqualified people on yahoo. You can guess as well as they can.
I put in a lot of 320 and 400 amp services on homes these days.
