&gt;         &gt; This is _relatively_ simple.
&gt;         &gt;
&gt;         &gt; You need an amp meter, which is not to be confused with a
&gt;         volt/ohm
&gt;         &gt; meter (VOM). An amp meter hooks around the hot wire the way
&gt;         a padlock 
&gt;         &gt; hooks around something. It will tell you how many amps each
&gt;         box is
&gt;         &gt; sucking. Once you know the actual amp load the math is
&gt;         simple.
&gt;         
&gt;         Actually, very simple but not cheap. &quot;Clamp on&quot; amp meter is
&gt;         what 
&gt;         electricians call them. Look for used or possibly an
&gt;         import.... Also has to
&gt;         be around only one wire, so a short heavy extension cord that
&gt;         can be safely
&gt;         split into separate (but still insulated!) wires comes in
&gt;         handy. They can 
&gt;         also be used in the breaker box if you know which breaker and
&gt;         nothing else
&gt;         on that circuit is running.
