Discuss Amperage for lounge & bedrooms in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi All,

Please can someone help me understand the amperage required for lounge and 2 bedrooms to support normal usage such as lights, tv, dvd player, and the odd 1Kw heater if each bedroom if the boiler breaks down? I have 2 circuits that can provide 20a each. Is that sufficient? Or do they need to be 32a each?

Many thanks.
 
20 amp will be more than sufficient unless you plan on growing your own 'plants'...
 
I did a CU change recently, one 32a mcb, for 1 bedroom with 3 x 2 gang sockets.

Talk about overkill
