I Have A 125 Amp Murray Panel I Have The Stove & Hot Water Heater On Seprate Breakers Will I Be Able To Add A Dryer Line On Its Own Breaker And Will It Over Load The Panel.
I doubt it, but I need to know a few details to be sure, such as,
Total square foot of livable space, do not include any attic, unfinished basement, crawl space, garage.
List of all major electric appliances
So far I know of range, water heater, and proposed dryer, any spa, hot tub, etc?
Type of heat?
Any air conditioning?
2000 square feet referigrator central ac wired on a 60amp breaker on the main panel by the meter out side.Quote:

So I had to assume 10KW of pure air conditioning, and I arrive at the connected load of 113 amps, to include the new dryer. So appears there is just enough to add the dryer, it will be close, and no additional load can be added until the service is upsized to a 200 amp.
Keep in mind that just because I say the service has the capacity to handle the dryer, a local electrican should be consulted to be absolutely sure.
