Dale, I've recently had a few home inspections done and each one that had a 100 amp service panel, the inspector recommended an upgrade to 200 amps.  One I understood, because the AC unit was drawing 60 amps...the other a plain ordinary swamp cooler.  What gives?

Great info for the consumer - Dale!  I doubt many folks have an idea of what a good electrical system consists of (I know I didn't) ... but this post should give them a few pointers!  JENNIFER

Glad to see ya, my friend.

I reckon, the truth of this here matter is when I was a writing this post. I was thinken of this area.

Most of this here area folk's don't have or use, Air Conditioner's, and ya just don't see Swamp Cooler's here.

 When I first got up in these part's, I asked my lady why none of the Mobile Home's didn't have a Swamp Cooler on them. She had no idea what I was talking about. So I had to explain to her, what they where, how they worked, and what they did.

I know about them from living down in Florida, working on Mobile Home's and moving them and seting them up in Colorado, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming many many moon's ago.

Well I reckon, I best add 100 amps is considered a minimal service, so folk's in other area's don't wonder what is a goen on.

Sorry for maken ya wonder about what gives, my friend.

Please forgive me, for doing so.

Thank ya kindly for stopping by to visit.

I have made a couple changes in this post for folk's.

Like most area's in the country this is considered a minimal Electrical service System. That a 200 amp would be better to have.

Thank ya for finding this post, to be good reading.

Dale, thanks for the great information.  Hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend.

Howdy Dale!

Thanks for getting back to me on the 100 amp question, Dale.  We've got quite a few homes here that utilize both AC & swamp coolers:  the swamp's more efficient in the heat & helps humidify the house some, but won't work when the humidity goes up in our "Monsoon" season--that's when the AC makes living in the desert more pleasant!

Your very welcome my friend

Dale... when I read your title I thought... when it works! I know not so funny but it made me smile. All that is over my head; another great reason to hire a good home inspector. Have a great day! Brenda :)

Glad to have you stop by to visit, and to have you leave a comment.

I am glad you got a smile out of it.

You are right, if it did not work. It sure would not be much good now would it.

Dale: Hi back... you always make me smile! This is such good information. I hope you are have a good day! I am getting a late start; last night I kept losing my comments I am not sure if it was AR or on my side... so we will see how tonight goes. See you around Brenda :)

Howdy Brenda

Glad to see you, and have you leave a comment as you always do.

I have also been getting a late start in the community lately, my lady and I have been looking at some homes. We are going to be buying one very soon.

Brenda - my friend it was not you, it was Active Rain. What was going on last night, was also going on a few months ago.

I keeped geting loged out of the community. The bug that does this well sometimes make your comment to folk's look like you where not loged in when you made the comment.

And not let you have your points for making the comment.

Thanks for the info... many time it is my satellite... we can not get online any other way and if it is cloudy or raining things go crazy. Have a good one Brenda :)

Howdy Brenda

You are very welcome!
