I would like to know what total load the electricity supply to my holiday chalet provides.
I have lost details of who connected it some 8 years ago and don't know who to ask.
Does anyone know how I can find out, please?

If you have a main breaker, it should tell right on the handle, maybe 100 amps. Otherwise, read the fine print on the breaker box itself.

Thanks Labman - assumed it would be more technical than that so didn't think to look!
Thanks again.

Your breaker may show current limit, If wire large enough, you may be able to increase Breaker size.
