Load calculation
Do the math before the upgrade.
A load calculation adds up what your house uses at its busiest, the way the electrical code describes, and compares it to your service. It’s the honest way to answer “do I need more amps?”
Ampersand / Load calculation
How it works.
- 01
Inventory
Square footage, every major appliance and its nameplate rating, heating and cooling equipment.
- 02
Calculate
The code’s standard method, which applies demand factors because not everything runs at once.
- 03
Measure
Where it helps, we log your actual usage for a week, or read a year of your Xcel peak demand data.
- 04
Recommend
Fits as is, fits with a load manager, or needs a bigger service. In writing.
