Breaker box is full?
You have two options, one is a complete service change. The average house service these days is 200 amps 42 circuits. The second option is to install a sub panel off the existing service. Depending on how many circuits you need will govern the size the sub panel. Here is where it gets tricky. Two side by side single pole breakers or one two pole breaker will have to be removed from the original service panel and replaced with a new two pole breaker. The size of this breaker will be governed by the total load of the new sub panel. The wire from the new sub panel to the two pole breaker is also governed by the load of the sub panel. As an electrician I would recommend that you not do it yourself but get a qualified electrician to do it for you. He would (should) take a permit out for the job and get it inspected.

What is the standard electrical service in a residental home?
The standard electrical service in a residential home in the United States is typically 120/240 volts, provided through a split-phase system. Most homes are equipped with a 200-amp service panel, which can accommodate the electrical demands of modern appliances and devices. This service allows for both 120-volt circuits for general use and 240-volt circuits for heavier appliances, such as dryers and ovens. Local regulations and specific home needs may result in variations in service size.
What size wire do I need for 100-amp service?

What determines the size of service entrance equipment and number of branch circuits used in a residential home?
Electricians use a service entrance calculation to figure what size entrance to use. There are computer generated programs that you input all the information on the home such as rooms and sizes then it will give you the size, then this is checked against the local codes officer to make sure they agree with the service. The old fashioned way can be done but the program is faster. So all the rooms, and sizes and equipment that are in a home determine what size is to be used. Although computer programs may be faster, you would still be required to know how to do these calculations yourself on a licensing exam. Load calculations are based on the square footage of a building and type of occupancy, plus special loads added to that. You must follow the current version of the National Electrical Code: Article 220 Branch Circuit, Feeder, and Service Calculations. Article 210 Branch Circuits give requirements for the number of branch circuits.
