Some background ... I am not an expert with electricity, but trying to
learn as much as possible ...

.... I just recently moved into a new house and my question(s) is in
regards to appliance installation into my unfinished basement. "Lack
of power" seems to be prevalent in this case.... 15 amp fuse on
breaker, with a 115 volt outlet, labelled for wash machine. The dryer
has its own 30 amp breaker and 230 volt outlet. I have a "sump-pump"
that has its own 115 volt outlet and a 30 amp breaker nearby as well.

I just purchased a small 10 cuft freezer that in the manual is asking
for its own seperate circuit at or near 20amps (energy rated at
312kwh); is this power requirement out of line of industry norm?
Could I add this to the same outlet as .. say what I currently have my
washer on? Or should I call in an expert and have them install
another circuit for my freezer?
