   I just looked at my house's panel.  When we bought the house 15 years ago, we   
   made the seller convert from old screw fuses to a modern looking breaker   
   panel.  I was a little surprised at some of the breaker sizes.   
      
   It's a 200 A panel.  It has a 40 A for a stove, a few 30s, and a 90 A for the   
   subpanel.  Wow.  And the subpanel which feeds water heater, air handler, the   
   shed, etc., has a total of 140 A worth of breakers, with the highest being a   
   60 for the air handler.   
     The house is single story with full basement, roughly 50 x 30 feet.
