I'm getting ready to renovate my bathroom and need a dedicated GFCI outlet. My mom mentioned that two electricians in the past said our electrical panel is at capacity. However, I've noticed there are still several knock-outs available in the breaker board and by my count, we can fit in six more breakers. I'm curious if there are any signs in the images I've linked that could confirm the electricians' statements. I do plan on consulting a licensed electrician for a definite answer, but I'm hoping to get some insights here first to avoid an unnecessary consultation fee. Thanks in advance!

It sounds like the electricians might have been considering the knockouts, which could be maxed out. Sometimes, just because there are still empty spots doesn't mean you’re in the clear. I’d look at whether other circuits might be oversubscribed too. Definitely get an electrician to check it out!
