That sounds like my situation.  Fifteen years ago the messed up electric 
furnace crapped out in Feb.  Three weeks without heat, and getting ready to 
redo the kitchen.  Switch to gas, got the antiquated electric panel upgrade to 
new, and all new furnace and WH.  

Old furnace was on knob and tube era wires, but was actually using a pair of 30 
amp breakers to power the 80 amp furnace.  Wiring was orange extension cord 
grade, PO had done, and he went to Hawaii every winter so never used it between 
Nov-Apr.  He had also cobbled together five sub panels with a veritable 
chronological layout of fusing.  1927 house with him living in it from 1940 
until 1994.
