One last time: If your existing panel is a modern 200A panel, the consider another sub panel. Even if, like Schwarz633, it is a big sub panel. Also, it sounds like those basement circuits could just be consolidated. Wire nuts are allowed in main panels.
Oh, that is something I haven’t considered. Yes, in terms of amperage, some of the excess circuits could surely be combined. I need to read up on how it is correctly done, though. Do I bring two hots of 120 v circuits together in a pigtail then connect to a single breaker, etc.
