that's very low usage...
I have a heat pump...no gas, all electric house
last month was 880 or ~30 kwh/day
my highest being 2400 in Jan, or 80 kwh/day...
over 8 hrs (less sleep & work) that equates to 10 kw, or 40 A at 240 VAC...
double that for peaking factor and you still only have 80A...

the only thing that would concern me is the compressor...
what HP? what voltage?
adding a 2 pole for the compressor, and 2 20A single poles should be no problem...
