Good points!

Thank you!

I will check the wiring to all of the outlets and devices before I swap out the 15A for a 20A.
I do believe it is all 12AWG though.

I could use my Fluke current clamp on that incoming line to the breaker, and stage devices on to see what the actual incoming current is. (to see if the breaker is tripping at 15A, like it should)

That's a good point about voiding my homeowner's insurance. I will keep that in mind.
