Your normal house outlets will be either 15 amps or 20 amps. It is suggested that you don't exceed the rating of the protecting breaker by more than 80%. That would be 12 and 16 amps respectively. It may work on 15 A circuit, but if anything else ins plugged into the same circuit it might blow.

You can, but your circuit will be "protected" by a 30 amp breaker. So you'll have to consider the safety issues of having wiring and appliances that can draw up to 30 amps before tripping the breaker. Will the wiring and circuity support that much current without damage? If not, then switch to a 15 or 20 amp breaker.
