        "text": "Adding an in-law suite with a private bathroom, bedroom, and living space requires your existing home's electrical and mechanical systems to handle the increased load. During planning, a general contractor assesses your main electrical panel to see if it has sufficient amperage or if a secondary subpanel is required. Plumbing lines must be tied into existing supply and sewer stacks, taking slope and pipe distance into account. For heating and cooling, many homeowners select a ductless mini-split system, which gives the suite occupant independent climate control without overtaxing your home’s central furnace and air conditioning unit.",
