Hi all,

Why is it new homes do not have 20 amp splits in the kitchens? Cost aside (GFCI and wire), wouldn't it be reasonable to install splits? I have a 1500w kettle - 12.5 amp, if I add a griddle at 1500 watts and a toaster and blender???? Blown fuses here all the time. Would it not be more logical, since we are using such high powered items in our kitchens now a days, to up the amps on the kitchen splits? Some kitchens are small so plugs can be limited.
