| I would go to 600 just to be safe.
Seriously, this is a question for him, not us. |

| The electrician should have done a load calculation. Ask for the results and then you will know. |

| It depends on your heat, cooking and dryer. If it is all elec, 400. if your heat is not elec, 200 is fine. |
