Newbie question about plugging in at the house

I can run everthing when plugged into the side of my house

As do I. I use a 12 ga extension cord, about 20 to 30 feet, with typical 15 amp male and female ends. It has been working for over 15 years, at home and when visiting relatives. Gotta confess, I do not recall if I have ever ran the microwave and A/C at the same time. My A/C is a 9200 btu Polar Cub, which only uses about 9 amps as I recall.
