    Electrical Subpanel
    I have used all the breaker positions in my existing electrical panel. I want to install a subpanel right next to the present one. Are there any code requirements about spacing?

    No, panel can be mounted right next to the existing. As long as each panel has a minimum of 30 inch clear space in front.
