Thanx all! Back to Earth I land.
You'r all correct. just a passing thought I guess. My 5.5KW worked fine this past storm,6 days, Microw,220 well,heat lights TV etc. (no cable but the old CDs got a bit of needed use). Looking back, Brought us back into perspective.
Warmth,warm showers and the like.
Conclusion: 8KW in the future,to take the load of the well better. (2k+ sqft). To fix my house as described, would essentialy equate to a service change (reorg.ckts and sub panels etc.)
However, It will be nice to know for future clients.
Thanx for the replies!
