    Default Making choice for Main supply cut out upgrade???? 80amp or 100amp

    Hi guys just scratching alittle on this on as far as max demands concerned.

    Got extension in house, curenntly has 60amp main cut out. 7 way board. Asked N.Power to come fit Iso and upgrade cut out too 80amp
    INC.
    1x 40 amp. shower
    2 x 32 amp. rings
    1 x 6 amp. lights WHOLE HOUSE ! eeeeeek
    1 x 20amp. bolier
    2 x spare

    They having Big extension loads new circuits.

    Wanting 16 amp Radials for all individual Kitchen apps
    INC.

    Fridge large double - 16amp supply
    freezer large double - 16 amp supply
    DW - 16 amp supply
    washine machine - 16 amp supply
    Boiler (new system) - 16 amp supply
    Also 2 x sockets and a Spur in dining. (Tv and floor lamps) - 16 amp supply

    Then also

    2 x 6amp lighting circuits
    1 x 32 amp kitchen ring. (above work surface sockets)
    1 x 10.5Kw shower (this makes two in house both same rating)
    1 x 7.5Kw Cooker range

    the n plus all old circuits.
    they may go for $$$$ all Rcbo's but not sure yet prob just Dual board LARGE 18way

    My question is after doing max demand and diversty. i am Way over even 80amps

    the main thing is the two showers. i dont doubt for a min these WILL be in use at same time. in morn, plus kettle and cooker im sure. it propa working family. 2 kids..
    But thing is with each of these showers i have to take 100% fl. (OSG TAb1b)
    that alone is 91amps.

    So as i stated at beginning i at first requested a 80amp with N.power, but now these two showers are in equation im bit stumped. surly its got to be 100amp. but even then its tight any idea s?
    they said they would do the 80amp and Iso for free , wondering how much 100amp would be as the carrier would need changing too..

    i know it bit of a long one, but any ideas welcome

    thanks guys

    100A usually free if you can get them to do it, I was told recently some areas wont upgrade unless problems with cut out fusing under load.

    If you can get a 100A fitted go for it. Why go part way to solving the problem.
