The average family today uses three times as much electricity as families in the U S. only 15 years ago. Backing up somewhat further, in 1940, a mere 30 ampere electric service was all you needed to power a house including the lights. Now we have electrical devices ranging from washers and dryers to TV sets and knife sharpeners. Some of them, such as an electric range or dryer, draw more electricity than could be supplied by an entire electric board in a typical 1940 house.
The average house today requires an electric service output of 240 volts and 100 amperes capacity.
