First, make sure you do not have 20A breakers on 14 guage wire. If you
do, change them to 15A breakers now. Thats what could be causing your
conduit to get hot.

Hot conduit is NOT a sign of wrong amperage breakers! Hot conduit means
there is a LOT of current trying to find earth ground!

Actually, it's much more likely to mean hysterisis heating. But you wouldn't
know that. Stick to giving advice on subjects you know something about (if
there are any). This isn't one of them.
