15A vs 20A is a factor of the gauge of the wires as well. You can’t just swap the breaker for a bigger one. You’ll get heat and depending where that could burn the house down.

I have a relative whose house burnt down due to stapled wiring in the attic. Thermal cycling eventually created a short. When your attic catches on fire the smoke alarms go off in time to save the people, but the moment the ceiling starts to cave in the entire house is involved and you’re mostly trying to keep the neighboring houses from burning.

Good callout. Yeah, I should be referring to the electrical circuit as a 15A circuit and not that it's just a limitation of the breaker.

We have the original fabric sheathed wire as well in the walls still which needs to be replaced to modernize the electrical system.
