Yeah for a service load calc it'd look like this:

Basic Load (General lighting & receptacles), 2600sqft house: 30A
Range: 25A (50% of 12000W rated range)
Hot water tank: 5A (25% of rated load when house has an electric range)
AC: 30A (100% of rated value)
Electric Dryer: 7.5A (25% of rated load when house has an electric range)

=97.5A

It really is right on the cusp of that 100A service.

My point is that 6793026 is really out to lunch with his comment that the electrician was telling him BS that additional loads risked tripping...
