Can I run a fan with light and a 1500 watt fireplace on same 15 amp breaker?

In the USA, at 110 volts, 1500 watts just about uses all the capacity of a 15 amp breaker, there's only 150 watts spare, look at the rating of the lamp and fan - lamp may be 40, 60, 100 watts, fan 40, 60, more? In the UK and Europe, at 230 volts, there's no problem. I give both answers because I don't know where you are.

Why does my 1500 watt heater consistently blow my 15 amp breaker fuse?
At 120 Volts your heater is drawing about 12.5 Amps. If your house only had 120 V then it would draw 13.6 Amps. Problems could be 1.) Other devices on same circuit. 2.) Internal short in the heating element that reduced resistance and increased current. 3.) Faulty heater in that it really delivers more than 1500 watts because heating elements are less resistance than rating would require. 4.) Faulty breaker. These are in order of likelihood. You are close enough to the limit of the breaker that it could be any of these things. Typically you should not exceed 80% of the breaker rating and that is just where you are operating.
Can you use a kettle on 15 amp plug?
Yes, a 1500-watt kettle should work nicely on a 15-A plug at 120 volts, provided there are no other large loads on the same branch at the same time. The 15-A branch will support up to 1800 watts, but only until the breaker trips.
