yes and no....basically depends.......the load has to be less than what the wire in the wall can handle. If your house was build recently (within the last 10-15 years) you can simply swap the breaker in the panel (i would suggest having someone who knows what they are doing to do this or you could get zapped). The best thing to do is to find a 'friendly' electrician and tell him what you have going on, or you can simply tear down for a day and have an 'unfriendly' electrican come in and tell him you need to have X load on the wires to that specific room. As an example, in my flower room, i have 2 20amp breakers that control it. One breaker is for one side of the room and the other is for the other side of the room. This allows me to have basically 40amps to that one room alone. Keeping in mind that most houses have around 100amp total for the house (depending on the size of the house and how old the house is). The way i got around using an 'unfriendly' electrician is that i told him that the room i am using is going to be my bedroom and i will have several computers, tv, ac unit, etc etc, and would like to have the room divided so that it will not burn the house down. The electrican did a great job and was more than will since he also knew that the rest of the house will be torn apart and redone. Construction on your house makes for a wonderful cover, especially when you go to home depot, lowes, garden centers, etc, you can pay anyway you want and noone will notice cause your house is under construction.

You really need to have someone who knows what they are doing to take care of thi.
