Technically? Yes. A 15A wall socket is good for 1800W.
If its a GFCI it will trip much lower. (I did it with a AX1200 :) )

A standard 15A is good for approx 1350ish
1800 your looking more around 20A

Mathematically untrue. but it all depends on the quality of your line and circuit breakers I suppose. 1350 is probably right for most circuits. but I have been in houses where a AC unit did not trip the breaker when a PC was running on the same line. But line was new.

I know mathematically but I speak from what I have seen common...
Mathematically 50 percent of homes would probably burn an outlet or pop a breaker at upwards of 1300W tbh.
if every house was new it would be awesome but we know how that goes

I've given a lot of thought to wrapping conduit around the outside of the house from the breaker box to my "office" ;) thought about it, haven't done it :laughing:
Really no good route cause of the basement door :ohcrap:
