We just purchased a condo and we notice that the blower will start and
stop 3 or 4 times, each for about 20 seconds, before it finally kicks
in. It is very annoying and we are certainly wasting money on this. Can
someone tell me, a total neophyte, what to look for and where to look
for it?

"Blower" does not say much.
Hot air furnace blower
Oil burner blower
Kitchen vent hood blower
Bathroom vent blower
Hair dryer blower
Dragster blower
Power vent blower for a heater

I'm guessing you are talking more about a heating system blower than a Fuel
Dragster. Could be the limit switches need adjusting, but then again, if
you are talking about an oil burner, it could be a fuel related problem.
