No spare breaker spaces for new circuits
A sub-panel or panel replacement solves it; tandem breakers in a panel not rated for them do not.

Commercial Electrical Panel & Panelboard Repair, Replacement & Upgrades
Panelboards distribute power to lighting, receptacles, HVAC, refrigeration and equipment throughout a facility. Aging panels, obsolete breaker lines, overloaded panels and poor labeling are among the most common issues we find in East Bay commercial buildings. We repair, upgrade and replace commercial panelboards and load centers in offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses and industrial facilities.

We also fix the small things that cause big headaches: missing breaker labels, double-tapped breakers, missing covers and panels that were never updated when the space changed.

Common failures and what they mean
Breakers that trip but feel hot or smell

Obsolete panel with unavailable breakers
