5. Overcircuted Panel
An overcircuted panel is a fire hazard to your home. An electrical panel is designed to accommodate a certain number of circuit breakers.
You need to determine the right panel for your home depending on the maximum load capacity. The circuit breakers fit into slots, and you can tell how many yours holds by prying the panel door open and taking a peek.
Using a tandem breaker in one slot instead of two single pole breakers is a code violation.
To avoid this, contact professional electrical contractors to add a sub-panel or replace the existing one with a bigger model.
