    Is 100 amp service enough?
    Can I run a electric range, dishwasher, washing machine, and central a/c on 100 amp service? My water heater, dryer and furnace is gas. The proposed a/c unit will be 3 ton. If not, what should I upgrade my service to? Thanks in advance.

    Solong as the wiring is correct you should be fine. And most of the things should be on a separate circuit so your OK.

    Especially considering the gas appliances you will be fine. I know many people with small homes and 100A services that run central A/C.
    A new 3T system will be very efficient as well.
