Greetings!
I am working on a double wide home we just recently had setup. Currently it has a 100amp G.E. (General Electric) Panel. There is no room to add anymore breakers. I want to switch the gas furnace (coleman presidential 2 77,000btu) to an electric furnace, gas hot water tank to electric and gas stove to electric. SO what I am really wanting is to make this Double wide total electric (outlets, lights, stove, water heater, ac, furnace, dryer, computers, and ect.)
I purchased another 100amp G.E. Main Box (20 1" spaces) with copper bus bar thinking I could just piggy back off the existing panel to give me a total of 200amps. The box at the pole will be 200amp. I would be using the new box pretty much just for the items I want to convert from gas to electric.
I did this rather than get a main lug sup panel because with using a 100amp sub panel tying to a 100am breaker in main box I still only get 100amps if I can pig tail off main than I can have a combined 200amps.
Do I have this all screwed up. I have already purchased the G.E. 100 amp main, so no matter what I need to make this work with my existing panel, I just need some guidance.
