Paul:

There are "Tandem" or "Half-size" breakers available which allow one to 
put two circuits into one space. They also come in 2-pole style for 220 
volt circuits. Contact a QUALIFIED electrician ( NOT your neighbor's 
brother-in-law who works maintenance ) for more info and installation.

I left the electrical trade 8 years ago. I was senior service tech for 
31 years.
