Lets Determine Your Load
1 infa red grill at 1500 watts 1 refrigerator at 1250 watts 2 ceiling fans at 200 watts each 3 pendant lights at 60 watts each total wattage: 3330 watts 3330 / 120 volt = 27.75 amps now each 20 amp circuit can carry 80% of its rating for 3 hours or more (continuous duty) so, each 20 amp breaker is good for 16 amps 16 amps x 120 volt = 1920 watts so, 27.75 amps / 16 amps = 1.7 or (2) two 20 amp circuits. You will need 2 twenty amp 120volt circuits to operate your added load.
