True, the recording process would not be done by a homeowner, but if that information was available, where that report was prepared by a qualified person or even the electric utility company it would show the existing loads.

Question: Would you find this supply and the amount of breakers sufficient for a 1500 sq ft home?

I hear ya brother......but we know how long it is just to get a service change work order from the local POCO.....let alone get them to do ANYTHING for the homeowner....and never at the purchase point when the buyer WANTS and NEEDS all the information up front for a wise investment.

Better to ER on the side of....well it is 60 Amps......you are FINE if you want to live like a HOBBIT forever.....you MAY want to bring it from the stone age at some point.......just make the BUYERS aware of that FACT...lol
