Default How much does it cost to change 15amp circuit to 20 amp

If you have #14 gauge wire then you might still be able to use the
treadmill by only changing the receptacle. You should not change the
breaker in this case.


NO NO NO NO NO !!!! This is UNSAFE, because it enables plugging in a load that
will draw more current than the wire can safely carry. DO NOT put a 20amp plug
on a circuit that has only 14ga wire. UNSAFE. ILLEGAL.
