Install Tandem Breakers to Create Space

What happens here

After confirming power is off, use a screwdriver to carefully remove the existing standard single-pole circuit breaker(s) from the panel. The video shows the electrician working with a flat-head screwdriver and a multi-tool. Then, install the new tandem (twin) circuit breaker by hooking its 'feet' or 'Q O hooks' into the designated notch on the bus bar (the metal bar inside the panel) and pressing it firmly into place until it clicks. The video shows the electrician ensuring the tandem breaker pops right on. Repeat this process for each tandem breaker required to free up the necessary space. The electrician demonstrates installing one tandem breaker and then preparing for another, noting that some tandem breakers have 'feet' that go around the bar.

Goal: Replace existing breakers with tandem breakers to free up slots.
