    How did you come up with your max usage?

    That number probably came off his electric bill.

    Jweeks,

    Are you tripping your main breaker? That is probably the best indication that you have maxed out your service and need a bigger one. If you have never tripped your main breaker you probably are OK. That assumes that it works. :D
