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.

Yes, a device drawing 13 amps at 120V would exceed the capacity of a standard 15-amp household outlet. It would require a dedicated circuit and outlet rated for 20 amps to safely power the device.
