Electrical woes...breaker box what??

[Myka]

I don't get it... do you mean the line from the street to the pole needs to be changed? I was under the impression that you can pull out the old 70 amp panel, put a 100 amp (or whatever) panel in, and voila. Not so? I thought it worked like an outlet does...you can draw whatever the panel itself is?

Oh.....one thing I just remembered...there are 3 or 4 other outlets on that same breaker too. The dehumidifier is on a different outlet, but same breaker. For some reason the whole bathroom is also on that breaker (can't blow dry hair when halides are on), and the kitchen's ceiling lights. It is a 20 amp breaker.
