We have 3.45 kw.
we have 3 a/c units, a 1.4kw pool pump, an electric oven, a 1.5kw electric water heater, washing machine, dishwasher, the usual small appliances, etc.
During our first year here, we had several trips. We had to go to the meter box in the street and press the reset button on the meter.
But we learnt to live with it. We have time-clocks on the pool pump and the electric water heater, so they never operate simultaneously.
But when we have visitors from the UK (those were the days ... hopefully back soon) it was tricky, as they didn't "know the rules".
We are having some building work done over the next few months, and we will upgrade to 5.5 or 7.?
The armoured cable from the meter box to our consumer unit needs to be replaced.
