I have two bedrooms that are on one 15A circuit. I want to add outlets and lighting as follows. Each bedroom will have a ceiling fan rated 54W with a light kit holding three 60W bulbs and a 60W closet light fixture. One bedroom will have 5 outlets, the other 6 outlets. Each bedroom will be on its own breaker. I heard a rule of thumb for load calculations for outlets is 1.5A each. If so one circuit is at a load of 10A and the other at about 12A. If this is all correct then I can have each bedroom on 15A circuits. Does this sound right?

I'm currently in the process of planning out all the final details for building my mechanical/utility room and after reading another thread, I realized I had failed to account for electrical outlet code requirements. I understand the general rule is an outlet every 6 foot (doors, and other openings governing). The size of my mechanical room would warrant approximately 9 outlets. The kicker for this room is most of the equipment is fixed location and would prevent the use of many outlets and also render them dangerous. One wall will have the water management/treatment equipment (pressure tank, filters, softener. Another wall will have the boiler and it's associated components mounted to, or in front of the wall beside it. I do have a couple outlet locations planned as they are required to power specific items (sump pump, washing machine, etc), but only have one wall where general use outlets could/would make sense. Any thoughts as to how to address this? I will be talking with a local electrician/inspector, but would like to have a few ideas to pass by him.
