To run a 500 watt 240 volt heater, you would need a 2.08 amp breaker. This can be calculated by dividing the wattage by the voltage (500W / 240V = 2.08A). You would typically round up to the nearest standard breaker size, which in this case would be a 3 amp breaker.
It is possible for a 12000 BTU air conditioner to run on a 15 amp breaker, but it may cause the breaker to trip if there are other appliances drawing power on the same circuit. It is recommended to have a dedicated circuit for the air conditioner to prevent overloading the breaker.
To safely add a circuit to a breaker box in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the main power supply to the breaker box. Identify an available slot in the breaker box for the new circuit. Install a new circuit breaker in the empty slot. Run the new wiring from the breaker box to the desired location. Connect the wiring to the new circuit breaker and the electrical outlets or fixtures. Test the new circuit to ensure it is working properly. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with any step, consult a licensed electrician for assistance.

No, absolutely not. The breaker is there to protect the wiring within that circuit from overheating and catching on fire. If you add a larger breaker and the wire stays the same the wire is no longer protected by the correct amp breaker. You could cause a fire. The breaker must match the size wire being used. Do this and you risk burning your home to the ground and possibly killing your family.
