 +1 to what others have said. If there are open spaces in the panel then it's just a matter of running new wire to these appliances.

 

There is room for additional circuits, but my son doesn't have to worry about it.  Apparently, he was not the highest bidder.  This is the 2nd house which he was the 2nd highest bidder.  The market is nuts.  The homes in his price range are selling in one day.  Many of the homes have major landscape/water issues which can not be fixed (but the homes are selling anyway) or they are in an area which he does not want to live in.  I have told him to walk away from the "water issue" homes.  You can fight water, but you can not win.   Danl

Another Option you could look into what my parents did for me starting off in my first house is a Mobile home.... Mines about the size of a 1 bedroom apartment a small 1 bedroom but its all I really need.  Holds up quite well and are made to current standards and are far cheaper than renting or buying or buying to rent.  That might be an alternative option for housing.  Its worked out quite well for me.  I mean I rent the space but I own the home so if I want to move I just pay someone to move the house.  That's one option out there.  As far as the gaming goes.  as I said most of the power runs through the power supply unit in the computer itself so there shouldn't be too much to worry about.  If you were a bit concerned about it I pulled up some reading material to look at so it wont be much more of a concern.....  I would know I'm a gamer and I planed for all of that...

I do not know how much “choice” your son has in buying a house now, but I would wait a year after this election to see what happens to price. One interesting thought we’ve had is to purchase a plot of land, and have a modular home dropped on it. If you do the research and buy from a good manufacturer, they are a superior structure compared to a stick built house. I have seen this when trying to add wiring to them. I’m not sure if the land pricing and supply’s have followed the pricing on homes in your area.

@Artie, we did the modular thing 5 years ago now, and we are very happy with it.  We were fortunate to have an outstanding dealer who catered to our wishes as well as a quality manufacturer.  They delivered and set basically a shell, and I spent the next 5 months finishing the inside.  Message me if you want more details.

Back when I did this we had to unbury the existing direct bury cables.  Then drop in our new cables then good to go.

Expensive yes worth it yes keep the power on until the final cut over and you must hire and electrical contactor to do the job.

 

You need to have an electrical check the wiring coming in. My understanding is they always run sufficient wire to the house reguardless of using a 100 amp box. But in 1977 this may have been different. So you may have a 100 amp box but you may have a 200 amp  feed..
