Exactly! It's the wiring in the walls that you must be concerned with. You cannot pull 20 amps through wire that is designed to handle only 10 or 15. You need to find out what size wire is running through the wall to where you want to plug in. Allowing too much amperage to be drawn through insufficient wiring will cause the wires to heat up, melt the insulation and cause a fire in your walls and it makes no difference if you have breakers or fuses, which basically do the same thing; kill the power if they are overdrawn or shorted out.
You should never attempt to make electrical changes if you don't really understand the codes and the hazards of those changes. Don't want to hear that your home burnt down!
