Reply to Are the wire extenders that come with Ring safe to use? by SavingToasty

The short of it, you are fine use them.

The longer version. Because the extensions are most like AL wire, or tinned. When you attach them to copper and they will oxides faster. Now that being said, the oxidation will take awhile and the way shit is made these days, the wire will most likely outlast the door bells. But if you want to extend the life of the wire, you can buy Noalox (or some type of anti-oxidant inhibitor) to add to the wires when you make the connection to prevent this.

As a master electrician and an EET, your right, I do know enough to be dangerous, but I also understand residential load calculations, and that not everything turns on at once. If those are the ideas you are trying to scare people with, then every house in the world would trip under full load of all the breakers, but that’s not how it works/calculated, but you would know that if you were an electrician. Just saying 🤷

You need to jungle a few circuit around. Breaker 7&15 paired up on a tandem and 8,20 on a tandem breaker. Then that frees up two spots, which you will have to juggle around to get them next to each other, then add a 2pole whatever for a sub panel. Then go from there. As an electrician, I f’in hate arc faults, at least gen 1, these look like gen 3, but they are code. Also something you may want to bring up to your builder and you electrical authority, when installing a new panel, it is required to leave two spare circuit spots (next to each other) by code (in Ontario). If this is code in your area, then they will have to do the work. That’s the route I would go first. But if that doesn’t work do what I mentioned above.
