I have a question for you! I have all electric in my home,, 100 amp service,,, but my home requires 200 amp service, due to the electric furnace. It will pull 75-90 amps just to get the furnace to start up the first time,, before I had been able to run the whole home on the 100 amp service,, with a new breaker,, recently had a real bad elecrical storm, lightning everywhere, and I belive the meter pole got hit, or somehwere close, cause now the max amp I can get out the whole 100 amp service is about 40 amps max, then the main breaker at the meter trips and shuts it all off. Im wanting to upgrade the wiring to the furnace only,, by adding a second 100 amp line just to the furnace. Question is,, do they make a 115-120 amp breaker that can fit in the place of a standard 100 amp breaker, or do I have to put in a whole new breaker box able to hold a different style breaker, or do you think a single 100 amp would do the trick? What kind of wire should I use? Double ought? tripple ought? it needs to be pretty heavy,,, any thoughts of how to do this right? also,, if I did have 2 leads to the home instead of one, and splitting up the amp load, could it drop my electric bill cause Im not trying to overload one line?
