NO!!!!!!! Az Lazypup stated: drop breaker size to not more than 20amps, but if you are sure the existing wire is only 14 gauge. Only use a 15amp 2 pole breaker (less than $10 new). Lazypup, I guess seeing that extra 30-120amps is what confused me (not hard to do). ME PERSONALLY---- If I found a 40amp breaker on 14 gauge wire (15amps MAX), I would be going thru the house with a magnifying glass to see what else the past owner has done!!!! If you can't do it, HIRE someone! TJ!!
