Most house circuits are 15 or 20 amps. You may have multiple receptacles and lights on the same circuit, so you have to consider the total draw, not just what the FW might use. For example, if a fridge or freezer is on the same circuit, that can be a pretty big draw, especially when the compressor first starts up for a cooling cycle.

There are adapters to get you from 20amps to 50 amps, so the plug itself is not an issue.
