Hello, first time homebuyer here and am very nervous about everything. Our inspector just looked at the electrical panel and was able to tell us that while it had been updated in the 60s, the panel is completely maxed out and probably will need to be upgraded to more breakers given all the appliances in today’s living. I was talking to a friend and she asked me if the inspector found any “re there any code violations in the panel? Like double tapped circuits?” She said perhaps if there was a code violation, we could also request the whole panel to be updated. I told her the inspector did not even take the panel off/apart. Is this the norm? What was your inspection process like?
