    Home electrical circuits
    I'm renovating an older home. It has a 75 A panel box. Several areas seem to be on each breaker. What is safe and can more breakers be added.There are dedicated breakers for stove,dryer,and 4 other breakers for plugs and lights throughout a 900 sq.ft. split level home. Thanks
