        "text": "Adding lighting requires assessing your existing electrical panel capacity, especially in older Salt Lake City neighborhoods like The Avenues, Sugar House, or Harvard-Yale. Homes with older 100-amp panels or outdated wiring may require service updates to safely accommodate new circuits, modern appliances, and extensive recessed lighting layouts. During a whole-house or kitchen renovation, an assessment determines whether your current panel can handle the added loads or if expanding breaker capacity is necessary before installing new fixture runs.",
