When running the electric heater, on high it might draw very close to 15 amps, so best to run it on low heat. The refrigerator is about a 3 amp load (unless on gas only) and water heater if you have electric option is between 8 and 10 amps. TV is typically only about 1 amp.
Big users are the microwave - 12.5 amps even if you are running only 50% power, it actually runs at 100% for only 50% of the time if set to 50% power.
Coffee maker, toaster, and such have a amp rating on the bottom or other label. Should be in the 1000 watt range or about 10 amps each, so don't try running more than 1 at a time if on 15 amps, or 2 at a time if on 30 amps.
Air conditioner can use between 12 and 15 amps, the warmer it is outside, the more amps it will consume..
