You can do that if you like, But take into consideration your total Amp's. If you have only a 60 AMP service you would be putting to much stress on the total AMP draw ( 60 AMP service is old and virtually non-existent anymore)

If you have a 100 AMP service (Standard) you can do this providing you have the space for a new breaker! Be sure to make note of the manufacturer of the Breaker Panel so you can buy the right Breaker to fit your box.(they are not all the same) You can also get a double breaker that splits a 15 AMP into two (2) 15 Amp's (caution) I would only do this if you have no open spots left which you don't.

I am sure you know the laws on wiring Black= Hot, White= Neutral, Copper/bare= Ground.
[u]Be sure to shut the Main down before doing any work in your panel</u>
