So how easy/hard is it to add more circuits?

Don't do it if you don't know what our doing but opening circuit box can easily tell amps. It is on the fuses in the box. If you ever trip a fuse this is the box you reset them.
But again be careful and don't do it if your not comfortable around it. Lots of electricity goes through a main, which means touch wrong thing bad deal.
What he's trying to tell you is "Touch the wrong thing and the best case scenario is you will WISH you had died"
Seriously though, seeking advice from strangers who are incapable of knowing the details of the wiring in your home ie. the age of the wiring, the capacity of your panel etc. is a losing proposition.
If you are considering purchasing something as power-hungry as an S7 it behooves you to seek the advice of a licensed electrician.
Nobody wins if you decide to fudge something together and the consequences range from fire, property damage (including potentially frying an expensive miner), and, as talks_cheep was so kind to point out, a severe case of death.
Honestly if you are not comparable with seeing amps on a circuit breaker (which I am not pushing as if you touch main possible death as mentioned). But if you are this far away from being able to look at breakers I would not invest in Bitcoin. As it's possible you could trip a breaker if use to much... and if you cannot flip it yourself your electrician bills will be big and kill profit.
I know I tripped breakers before before I got a mining area. It was a game to put some on one circuit and some on others. But if someone turned my microwave long ago I remember it would trip a breaker if I had to much mining gear on it. So in home mining you can run into this.
But getting a electrician for starting to check breaker, and wire guage. Is not a bad idea. Also might ask about getting a dedicated line or two and see price. All depends on what your long term plans are.
