My garage has a separate 15A fuse/breaker or whatever you call it, that is labeled "Garage door opener", and the only thing connected to this fuse is the single outlet that the garage door is plugged into. I need some more power to my grow so was thinking of using this outlet.
I don't know much about electrical stuff, but I was wondering what is the difference between a 15A and 30A line, besides the obvious fact that it handles double the load? Is the wire gauge on the electrical wire they run different? Is there ANY diff other that the capacity of the fuse? I was going to hire an electrician to run another 30A line into my garage, then my buddy says "just swap the 15A switch/fuse for a 30A". That sounds WAY too easy, lol. I must be missing something. I'm just a bit paranoid about having an electrician come to my house. Help!!!
