it can be done at the electrical panel with out a transformer. always have an electrician do it.
If the appliance is just to be plugged into a circuit with multiple outlets then you just need to make sure that the sum of currents for all devices on the circuit are less than the rated current. A rule of thumb is total current should be no greater than 80% of the rated current. So you might have a 20 A breaker and several 2.5 A appliances on this circuit. If you have a dedicated circuit for the appliance you would only need to size the breaker for the maximum current being drawn by the appliance. If the appliance contained a motor then there might be a start-up current that might be as high as 15 amps so you would likely go to a 20 amp breaker for a safety margin. As a practical matter a dedicated circuit for an appliance in the 2.5 amp range should have a 15 amp breaker. I always install a 20 amp breaker just for added margin and possible future applications.
Yes, the amp rating is a measurement of the highest amp load it should carry. So a 15 amp appliance will work on a 20 amp socket but you wouldn't want to use a 20 amp appliance on a 15 amp socket.

Appliance stores can be found in your local phone book business section or your yellow pages section. You can also search your area on the internet for appliance stores. Last but not least, word of mouth is always good. Ask family and friends which appliance stores they use.
For your safety and that of anyone else who may to use the appliance connected to that outlet, ask a professional licensed electrician to advise you or to do the work for you.
