How is the lighting load calculated?

The `calculate_lighting_load` tool applies a fixed density of 3 VA per square foot to the total livable area provided.

What appliances are supported?

The `calculate_appliance_load` tool supports common residential appliances such as electric ranges, clothes dryers, water heaters, dishwashers, and EV chargers.

How do I determine the required wire gauge?

Use the `compute_panel_specification` tool. After providing the total VA demand, it will return the recommended American Wire Gauge (AWG) based on the selected panel size.
