Just so you know, just because you are changing out a 20 amp breaker to a 32 amp breaker that does not mean more current, amps, will flow. It only means the breaker will withstand a continuous current flow up to 32 amps before it trips open. The amount of current flow within the circuit is solely dependent on the load connected to the circuit. The wire size and the length of the branch circuit from the electrical panel to the receptacle/s is very important.
