Theres no way to calculate the load for a family, The Calculation is done on the home by Sq footage, Heating, cooking equipment,, dishwasher, disposal...etc, you air conditioning can't be calculated to keep one room cool as for most a/c's cool the whole home, all this can be found in the NEC (National Electrical code)

amps X volts = watts
watts X 1000 = Kilowatts

you need to look at what the appliances are rated to run at amperage wise

and the voltage use 240 that's the standard incoming voltage for American homes.

rough guesses---
1-8amps (might be more because TVs and monitors use a lot of juice but the tower dont use much )
2-5amps
3-6amps (ceiling fans dont pull much if that's the right fan type)
4-30amps
5-15amps
6-15amps
7-8amps
8-20amps

25.68 Kw

strictly a guess i don't know your house and that's **ALL** running at the same time which i don't think they all kick on at the same time for very long
