RE: 20 amp Duplex on 15 amp circuits? yes? no? don't care?

Posted by Jonesy on March 16, 2017 at 08:19:31:
I agree with posts about inspection/changing them out if reselling.

Theoretically, even if someone plugged in a 20 amp device, not knowing it was a 15 amp circuit, your breaker should pop.

But you should consider if (heaven forbid) your house burns down and your insurance adjuster says wiring wasn't to code. I guess so long as it was evident the fire wasn't electrical related beyond reasonable doubt, you should be fine. Also fine if you had an inspection certificate.

Cheers!
