Depends more on the application and what else you might have on a current circuit you would use if you didn't install a separate circuit.
At 120 volts you are only talking about drawing 8 amps. On a 15 Amp circuit this is fine. However, if there is a motor involved there may be excess start-up currents.
There are certain appliances like stoves, refrigerators, dryers, dishwashers and so forth that require separate circuits. If you have a small heater you move from room to room then you can use an existing circuit that would not trip when you added the appliance. Use the cord that comes with the device directly into an outlet rather than using an extension cord.
If the appliance needs to be hardwired into a box then use a dedicated circuit.

Electrical power is also measured in Watts.
the unit of electrical power named after scottish inventor of steam engine is Watt ( the electrical power ) and the iinventor was James Watt
No. An electrical leak is an electrical ground. When any line grounds out, the circuit breaker will trip and shut the power off. With the power off the watt meter stops recording so that there is no billing at that time.
about 4800 watt but should not use it 100% so to be safe 4000 watt (80%)
