My first house vintage 1959 ish < Brooklin Ontario >
I'm pretty sure had a 40 amp panel .. If either the oven or the clothes dryer were on when the central AC kicked in - it would trip the main breaker. ... it happened several times over the 6 or 7 years I was there.
It was still a great starter home - despite the scary early '80s mortgage rates < kids today can't even imagine it >
16 1/2 % when I purchased - and it was still a real estate frenzy ! .. 18 1/2 a year later on renewal. < frenzy over >I locked in for 3 years when it went down to 12 1/2. < ! >
... the good old days .. John T.
