    Breaker Boxes
    What is considered to many amps running through a 100amp breaker box? I have currently 335apms installed and would like to know if that OK or do I need to upgrade to a bigger breaker box.

    If you mean you have 335 amps worth of breakers this means nothing. That is not uncommon at all and is NO indication of load.

    A demand load calculation is the only way to tell if your service is big enough.
