In Georgia, I have a rental house built in 1985. At that time, what was code for the amperage of the circuit serving the bathroom? This house has a single 15A breaker for a circuit serving both the master and adjacent guest bathroom, each a full bathroom. I know that code requires a 20A circuit now, but what about back then? (Tenant's 2000W hair dryer plus bright bathroom lights consume 14.7+3.8=18.5A and trip the breaker after a few minutes. No halogen bulbs available for light fixture, although that wouldn't matter anyway with the hair dryer drawing 14.7A and randomly 15.1A on my clamp-on meter.)
