What's the price of switching a room from 15 amps to 20 amps?
I am running a lot of electronics in my room and have experienced a few power surges. How much would it cost to increase my room from 15 to 20 amps?
Surge, or what is known as a "brown out" where there is not enough power for everything, but not enough of a load to make the CB trip? A surge would be a sudden rise in voltage, and that would not be from the equipment that you are using. Terms mean a lot, and the wrong term for the wrong thing leads to confusion.
If, and only IF you are absolutely sure that the distribution wiring is #12, then as already mentioned, it is a simple circuit breaker change, as well as installing 20 amp outlets over the current 15 amp ones.
Now, there are other things not yet mentioned that needs to be considered. In most modern homes, the over head lamps are wired into the wiring of an adjacent room, while the wall outlets are wired to a different circuit breaker. Sometimes a portion of the wall outlets share the wiring of another room. This would mean that there is a chance that in your room, you actually have 2 branch circuits. 1 branch begins in another room, and ends in your room, and the other set of outlets is the beginning of another branch that ends in another room. The way to find out is to turn everything on, and 1 by 1 go through all of the breakers for all of the rooms to find out if you do have 2 different branches feeding your room. If this is true, then you need to find out if the other user will reduce their load on one of the branches. Yes, it is a bit involved, but it beats doing the other work.
