I just bought a house and was told there were too many recepticals chained togeter going to the circuit breaker panel. Can you tell me what the code is for this and how many recepticals are the max allowed?
 
This has been the subject of some debate. I believe there is no such limit. I can give you a number that would be a "good design practice," that being perhaps 10 duplex receptacles on a 15 amp circuit or 13 on a 20 amp circuit. But that would not be an NEC requirement.

May I ask what you are being told? Is someone trying to push you into performing upgrades?
