I used 14-2 wire from the junction box to the outlet. Also, the breaker is 15 AMP and the frig uses 11.5 AMPS. Should I just switch the breaker to 20 AMPS, would that be OK for the two ceiling fans and frig or should I run a new line just for the frig or take the power from another circuit with outlets? Is it easy to switch the breaker or should I call an electrician?
