I disagree ,the wiring that was there is 100 years old it has the paper insulation and woven horse hair type insulation on it
It only failed because the underground conduit is flooded , conduit probably rusted out
a few years back during the drout we had it was working fine now it is wet again
There is no way that 14/2 UF inside PVC conduit is going to be any worse than what was there for 100 years
I checked my snow thrower and it is 13 amps
Not sure about my mower it is a very old black and decker .
I used it with a the old wiring with no problem before same for the snow thrower
Also the circuit garage is on now is 15amp and the house is so old whoever wired it wired the garage to the same circuit as the oil burner so the heating system ,there burner motor and the squirrel cage can blower motor were on the same circuit ( I had to disconnect the old line cause the conduit bid flooded and trips the breaker and then we have heat)
I used the snow thrower in the winter which is 13 amp and undoubtedly the heat was running at the same time and had no issues
I am not sure of the gauge of the old wire though
But is definitely on a 15 amp breaker
With the heating system and a few other things , I think about 2 double 4' fluorescent tube lights in the cellar
I would be putting the new line on a separate breaker and I would have that done by an electric (I have a few in my family)
But as I stated I would not be using them at the same time
At one time the most I will be using is the snow thrower which is 13 amps and the light on the door opener which is LED ,an A9 60 watt equivalent bulb ,so about 5-6 watt for the bulb
The mower I am not sure about but that would be running with the bulb too
Not like I would be operating the mower and the door opener at the same time or the snow thrower and the door opener At the same time
And the flood light is on a PIR and only works at night so tht would not be on either ,just either the mower or the blower and the opener light since it goes on when you trip the beam

Using 14/2
Maybe they shouldn't have wired their electric range with 14/2. IMO, highly improbable that 14/2 on 20 amp is the cause of a fire. It still isn't code, because 14 gauge can't reliably trip 20 amp breaker in all scenarios.
