Please don't use anything made by Siemens , its junk from my experience with their breakers/panels.
Oh, really? I had not heard this. Hmm. Okay.
Well then I'll go the approach of replacing 4x 15's and/or 20's with tandems, and then get a double-50 as was recommended by others.. local hardware stores carry Square-D which I know many people often recommend..
thanks!
From what I gather, Siemens and Square D is a Ford/Chevy thing for some. Use whatever your panel requires as there are different styles. Pull an existing breaker and take it with you to be sure.
When I was working I replaced lots of Siemens breakers, they should change the spelling . CH, GE, SqD & SqD homeline did quit but not often. SqD Disconnects most trouble as it uses a switch that looks like a breaker so after not being turned off after10 years of working and the repair guy turns it off to work on equipment, it won't reset. Be glad you don't have a Federal Pacific panel trying to do this .
