Can I replace a 15amp breaker with a 20amp breaker?

Asked by victord66 (201points) January 9th, 2010

I live in a one bedroom apartment and have just started using a humidifier in my bedroom but every time it’s set to high, the breaker trips. It’s a 15amp breaker and it seems more than half of the apartment is on the same circuit. Can I safely change it for a 20amp one?
