So my house was built about one year ago so i'm assuming all the wiring is up to code etc.
Anyways i was planning on installing my nema 14-50 outlet and i saw in my subpanel that the entire house is basically on 20A circuits, but every outlet in my house is a nema 5-15 outlet.
Since they're 20A circuits could i just replace a few 5-15 outlets in the garage with 5-20 outlets? i read somewhere that 20A circuits have to run 12 gauge wire, but i can't know for sure.
