15A vs 20A breaker

[2 for Him]

The extra plug seems to be your only solution. Most heaters pull 1000watts on low, coffee pots 1200, so that makes a total of 3200 watts on an 1800 watt (1500watts / by 120 volts) circuit. Even a 20 amp circuit won't take 26 amps for more than a few seconds. Also, if the breaker has tripped quite a few times it can get weak and need replacing.

Good luck, we have the same problem with a heater, 2 curling irons (one for each hand?) and a hair drier going in the bathroom.

Sorry, typing lots slower than I'm thinking, 120volts TIMES 15 amps is 1800 watts.

Thanks for all the great input. I'm still thinking about what I want to do about this.
