When we moved into our old farm house a few years ago we knew we had to do something about the wiring. The existing wiring was in okay shape but just not up to the job. About 2/3 of the ceiling lights and wall outlets in the house worked off of one 15 amp circuit. All of the ceiling fixtures had been replaced with multiple bulb type. The circuit breaker was always triping. I replaced all of the light bulbs in the house with the compact floresent type. The current draw is about 1/6 the amount so not only is the 15 amp circuit okay but I am saving money. We then added new outlets and wiring in needed places like the refrigerator, mircrowave, entertainment center, freezer, etc. This was a relectively cheap fix.
