Should a house with 60A service with gas water heater dryer and furnace be upgraded to 100A or 150A if you want to add an electric range and AC and have a lot of electronics?

If I was upgrading, I would install a 200 amp box so there would be adequate power in the future.
You should upgrade to a 200 amp service even if your local code does not require it. This will allow you or future owners to upgrade or install new circuits as needed. Also, if you are renovating and you home is World War II era or earlier, most likely the home of this era has cloth wrapped tungsten conductorsand could become a fire hazard. These circuits should be replaced with the properly sized Romex.

Cloth wrapped tungsten conductors must get very hot seeing as that is the same wire that is used in light bulbs.

Will a 7000 starting amps and 10500 running amps run a 78 amp furnace?
In the electrical trade the only time there is a reference to start and running amps is when dealing with motors. The running amps is always lower than the starting amps. A 78 amp electric furnace will take a 100 amp service for it to operate and be within the electrical code guide lines.
Why has your house got 100 amp fuse in the meter box but only 60 amp cable running from it?
The electric company probably upgraded your service, but the house hasn't been re-wired to take advantage of it. 60A used to be common, but 100A is much more common now.

Well, if its plugged into an outlet, turning off the main service box switch will disable it.If you want to DESTROY all the electronics there an EMP machine will do it. But these machines are very expensive and require very large amounts of electric power themselves. They are also not selective or directional and will destroy all electronics around them to the limit of their range in every direction.
