    Replacing fuse panel and amps
    I am getting my wiring updated along with my fuse panel. Right now it has a old bull dog set up with the push button fuses. There really hard to find replacement fuses, and two of them are blwon and will not reset! One of the fuses is for my stove, and the other runs the lights and fan in my bathroom! I am tired of having candle lit showers! Lol
    My question is, right now my house has two suites in it. BUt in the future I want to turn the basement into a suite, move out and collect rent from all three suites.
    Each suite will have a stove, one electric furnace/or electric room/baseboard heaters( I am open to how I will heat everything, which ever uses less power, gas is not a option where I live)
    2 of the suites will possibly have washer and dryers, for sure one! I would like to have in it two if possible.
    Electric hot water tank.
    Is 200 AMP service enough to service three suites? Would I be pushing max?
    There is also a garage, but it really only runs lights and minimal power tools.
    Thanks for any advice. I honestly don't trust asking the electricians around here, they like to take you for a ride. I live in a small town that is quite remote from large city centers.
