The correct answer is; that depends entirely on the capacity of the circuit to which you will be connecting the fan.

If the circuit (including switches, circuit breakers, wire size) has sufficient available capacity, connecting the larger fan will not be a problem. Otherwise, it is possible that even such a small increase in power consumption can cause problems with the wiring... depending on the circuit.

Yes, you can typically replace a 0.16 amp fan with a 0.20 amp one as long as the voltage requirements are the same and the system can handle the slightly higher current draw. It's always best to check with the manufacturer or consult an electrician to ensure compatibility and safety.
