others are probably more experienced than i am.
the biggest issue is LRA (locked rotor amps) or start up of the compressors. that said, a 50amp breaker will not blow at 50a if it is just a quick surge.
interesting though that we have 20kw gennys and a 50a service....
so you are doing fine. the electric portion of the aquahot will shut off your basement airs, but NOT your new roof air you put in. so if you run the electric aquahot you will need to watch it.
if you are managing it so no breakers blow, then you are doing fine.
i would suggest to not run a toaster, air cons, several hair curlers, microwave, and space heaters....ha ha
