Look at the data plate on every appliance you intend to operate. I was shocked to find out our 10 year old fridge/freezer pulls 11.2 amps and our 2 year old of similar size only pulls 6 amps. I had only looked at my new one and assumed they would be the same. I guessed that the 4 amp freezer and old fridge would work together on a 15 amp circuit. Once I really looked at the old fridge I changed my mind and ran 2 circuits.
Very smart to plan ahead.
