is it dangerous to increase capacitance?

of electrolytic capacitors?

e.g. 1800 to 2200uF

 

[DF96]

1800 to 2200uF is within the usual tolerance range for electrolytics so does not really count as an increase.

1800 to 4700uF might be fine, or might create problems. It all depends on context.

Sometimes it might be dangerous for your wallet !

All is about the context. A BlackGate is more expensive than a Panasonic !

If you source Duelend you may need a Mortgage. Btw thet gave up the idea at Duelend to make a 1800 uF capacitor, it was bigger than the house !
