2. When your circuit breaker or GFCI protection trips it is indicating that your loads are exceeding the circuits ability to provide the necessary power safely. Sometimes older homes had only one or two circuits for the whole homes lighting/outlets. As technology has developed so has its power needs and safety requirements.
3. When you need a new appliance or amenity added you may not have the room in your panel to add it. Such as adding a hot tub or car charging circuit. More importantly even if you did have the space for another circuit it could be more draw than your main breaker can safely handle. A quality electrician can help you properly and safely add your need device and make it look professional.

4. Sometimes older installations did not provide enough outlets or lighting controls for their uses. Older code may not have required as many or as appropriate a location for your device needs. Plugging in many extensions and splitters is very dangerous. Extension cords can be a trip hazard, causing unexpected shut down of power electronics unsafely. Splitters can add a hazardous amount of power draw on a circuit that may not trip it but damage it, leading to critical failure or fire.
