Sibling comment about electric loads is accurate - we had 100amp service which was insufficient (though we almost made it - we added an ADU (also all electric) which needed it's own big breaker and we didn't have space for that - so that's what really put us over. I ended up going a bit crazy and installing 400A service because it wasn't that much more that 200. Cost was about $11k. We also redid most of the electric wiring in our house as part of renovations. What I had in mind with the comment above though is that it's just a shift in mindset. In the past I had no idea what a 'therm' of gas was, or how much that was, or any way to connect "run the heater for an hour" to a unit of energy or cost. With everything electric, and everything monitored in detail, and production of electricity on the roof, now everything in the house is on the same unit of energy which I can at least wrap my head around. I can connect "run the heater for an hour (3.5kwh)" to "2 hours of shaded solar power" or "a whole day of hot water" or "a 10 mile trip to the shops in the car". With data comes awareness, and with awareness its inevitable that you'll shift your behavior to be more efficient.
