Kitchen appliance wiring
Hey all, I am re-wiring a kitchen, i already have the diposal on its own 20 amp breaker and 12/2 wire. I also have the dishwasher on its own 20 amp breaker and 12/2 wiring. Is this ok or should I change it to 15 amp 14/2 wire? Thanks!

The only reason to change it would be if the manufacturer of either appliance requires a 15A breaker in the installation instructions. In that case, only change the breaker but leave the #12 wire. This would allow future flexibility to change back to 20A when you eventually replace appliances.
