A:Answer I was concerned about this as well, being in a older home. I unable to get an answer online. I have mine plugged into a 20A circuit with 5 other outlets and an LED security light that usually stays on all night. The freezer doesn't run that often, and the lights inside the house will only dim momentarily when I use the shop vac. But that's to be expected, with or without the freezer. You should be fine, hope this helps.
