Not only would we need to swap out a gas heater, hot water, and a new stove, we would very likely need an upgraded electricity supply. Our old house has a 35A main breaker, maybe that is what was considered enough 53 years ago. I don't know what capacity the cable itself has though. Exactly how far would the carrot side of any such program go?
