What happens here

After understanding the three options, it's crucial to evaluate the specific electrical panel. Some panel models, like the one shown in the video, may not allow for the installation of tandem breakers due to their design or manufacturer specifications. In such cases, the customer would unfortunately need to choose between a panel upgrade/replacement or installing a sub-panel, even if these are more costly. This final assessment guides the decision on how to proceed, ensuring safety and compliance.

Goal: Select the most suitable and code-compliant method for adding new circuits.
