Can your panel handle it?
Pick your service size and heating, then switch on what you’re planning to add. An educational estimate — a licensed contractor performs the real load calculation.

How this estimate works
Starting demand assumes a typical home: about 45 A for gas-heated homes and about 85 A for electric-baseboard homes. Each load you add uses a typical demand value. With EVEMS switched on, EV charger loads are left out, because a load management device limits charging when the house is busy.
This is not a Canadian Electrical Code Section 8 calculation. Real results depend on the home’s size, existing appliances and measured demand. A licensed electrical contractor performs the official load calculation before adding major loads.
