Hi there.

can anybody help me out on this. I do not know much about electric.
I am planing to replace my gas water heater with an electric one. The first thing I need to do is see if my current electric panel has enough capacity, right? Sorry for the dumb question, but how do I check that (exact steps)? From what I am reading most electric water heaters need hard wired 240V line from the panel.
So how do I go about checking if my electric service panel is adequate? Would I need just 2 circuit breakers, etc?

Appreciate any help.

thank you
