Many homes in the Midwest are built all-electric. 200 amp panels to start.
On a new build it is designed into the home. What in the world are people in older cities with older homes going to do?
Ignore the rule.
But landlords are going to get pummeled by the rule making bodies.
Our first home was built in 1928, had solid wood shiplap throughout, and a single 60 amp circuit, with knob and tube wiring, that fed one light and one wall outlet per room.
Cost me $4500 (1985 dollhairs) to replace it with a 200 amp panel and new wiring. Thankfully the "electrician" was fresh out of prison, needed cash and cut me a deal.
Today's cost? Or if I had a brick row home that was from 100 years ago?
Look for a lot of lightning strikes to burn down old homes.
Oh the huge manatee, more mining of metals and minerals to make all the crap needed to install all the less efficient electric stoves.
All these grandiose ideas that actually cause much more harm than good and do the exact opposite of the publicly stated intent - and the left side of the bell curve people eat it up.
“Talking serious coin.”
100-amp panel might do it, but it would be close (and may be insufficient if you have electric heat/water heater).
A 200-amp panel is better yet, but would likely require new wiring all the way in from the street.
One little problem: There isn’t enough power or distribution capacity to support the change over.
The bigger problem (by far) is that these know-nothing unelected political hack regulators think that they can lord over us.
WHAT guarantee is there that your local power company can provide ALL customers with such????
So, why aren’t those who wish to bring about restrictive regulation required to learn the details of what their regulation would require? I’m only high school educated, but know enough about what what changing from gas to electric appliances would require. Some things are better operated by one system than the other & here is where common sense should rule, not some uneducated government bureaucrat. Personally, I have both in my home, dictated by what works better within certain circumstances. If only the people in our government were hired,appointed, or elected to serve was someone who knew what he or she were doing, it would be a huge help.
