Breaker Breaker

So, upon the advice of our electrician, we purchased the largest breaker box available for our 200 amp service. This sucker is 40" long with space for 40 breakers! But you'd be surprised. After adding in breakers for hard-wired smoke alarms (code), washer, dryer, fridge, microwave, GFCI's for bathrooms and outdoor outlets and double breakers for each of the six electric heating units. . .bam

only six left.

That's only six for upstairs and any heating/cooling units we eventually install.
