I have 2 appliances, 1 1000 Watts and the other 1200 watts. Can I run both off a 20 AMP circuit using 12 or 14 gauge wire with the first connection on a GFI.

Maybe. What are the appliances? Is the voltage 120 V?

I = (1000+1200)/120 = 18.33 A

12 AWG would be fused at 20 Amps.

But, need to know what the appliances are, especially if they are space heating.
