Changing 15 Amp to 20 Amp
I would like to change out a 15 amp breaker to a 20 amp breaker. What do I need to check to make sure I can make the switch? Wire size, etc? Rather not call an electrician if this is something I can do myself, safely.

Unless the wire is 12 gauge you CANNOT change to a larger size breaker. To do so would create a fire hazard.
