IF the customer is running the fan constantly, Id bet its easily
saving that much.

Which means more electric. Most electric in America is generated by
Natural gas turbines is is Government subsidized. The cost of Electric
is not cheap when full cost of production and transmission is
considered. A decent hybrid Wind generator is in the vicinity of $2
million per copy. Recapture of investment is based on Elwood financial
recovery theorum.. About 7 years etc. Price of Copper is creating
less windings in motors, thus creating more power/wattage to run them.
Has anyone else noted that large number of blower motor replacements
that are now fueling our service income? If Sammy in Washington keeps
screwing around with wasting our economy.. Well ..lets just say it may
be premature to scuttle your Number 10 Coal scoop. Corn burners are very
popular here. But they take a lot of electric to run them. Corn has to
be clean grade 2 and dried. Pellets will also work..But are expensive
to use in the northern climes. Big women have big boilers, and there
is a lot of heat in those big boilers. ;-p
