Increasing from 15A circuit to 20A
Need your expertise,
My living room and my bed room are on the same circuit breaker and they are under 15A load.
Lately, I have more devices that connect to the receptacles in the living room, such as:
Denon AVR-4308
XBox360
48 LCD TV
Wii
500W HTPC
And some other devices.
If I turn them all on, likely the power will be out and trip the breaker.
I know that these devices all together may draw more power than the circuit could supply which causes overloading.
Question, can I upgrade from 15A breaker to 20A without running new wires?
It is very tough to re-wire the living room because it is finished and I don't want to break the walls. Any suggestion? I prefer using the same circuit with more amperes.
Thanks in advance.
