So I got this to conserve space in the panel.

Thanks for some good ideas. I would highly suggest you check your connections inside the panel periodically. These types of breakers tend to loosen up more that the standard breakers. I would suggest checking all breakers, Neutrals (White) and Grounds. Also check the Main Lugs where the "Service" comes in. PLEASE do this with all Power disconnected - don't forget any possible backfeed from batteries or Solar. Most panels in brick and mortar homes have multiple loose wires in the panel which can become a point of heat and possible failure. When you consider just a hair dryer or toaster can pull 10+ Amps a loose wire can cause problems. Just some advice from an old electrician.

WayRob1956, learned that lesson many years ago.
Worked in a grocery store and a couple of us that turned off lights at night use it the breaker panel that many were hot to the touch. Electrician determined that screws holding breakers to hot buss were loose. Well he started tightening with the panel still hot! Well as he put screw driver to one screw it fell out and landed between the buss and tub!!!!

I never saw such a Fireworks Show even on the 4th of July!!!! He was shaken, but unharmed.
