A simple test to carry out, is to wonder around the house and total up the
load of all the electrical equipment you have plugged in to the mains
supply. i.e. heating, lighting, cooking, laundry, food storage etc. etc.
and see how much power it would use if it was all running at the same time,
even all the little clock radios and things, and I think you'll be amazed at
how little it really does draw compared to the supply's capability.

Perhaps he has a wife and seven daughters who all have ensuite showers
and want to use them at the same time.... :-)
