The answer isn't the same for all clients. All depends on the conditions of your actual panel. Some houses have panels outdated and in that case it is recommended to review the amperage capacity of it. Another variable that needs to be asses is the space in your panel, a piece of equipment such as a mini split requires a GFI, in this case a new breaker needs to be added to the panel. If the panel doesn't have enough space an upgrade is needed.

To reduce your electricity bill, you can take several steps such as using energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using programmable thermostats, sealing windows and doors to prevent drafts, and using LED light bulbs. Additionally, consider having an energy audit performed to identify areas where you can improve energy efficiency in your home.

Common signs of electrical problems in a home include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, burning smells, and outlets that are warm to the touch. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact a licensed electrician to inspect and address the issue.

If you experience a power outage, first check if the outage is limited to your home or if it affects your entire neighborhood. If it's just your home, check your circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers and reset them if necessary. If the outage affects your neighborhood, contact your utility company to report the outage and get updates on the restoration process. In the meantime, use flashlights instead of candles for safety, and avoid opening your refrigerator and freezer to keep food cold for as long as possible.
