Nope...I was able to check the specs before I got the pump. There's also a dehumidifier in there. Even if the freezer happens to start up when the sump pump and dehumidifier are running, it's still under 15amps. One of the reasons I got this pump. I wasn't crazy about the amount of plastic in it, but the heavier duty cast one they had drew a lot more power and would have been no bueno.
