Currently I am at about 70 / 120 degrees for stop / start limits.
Also wondering what the average furnace fan uses for kw in a day if on
continuously. �Thanks!

Consider any responses you get as WAGS because there are too many
unknown variables in your post. �It varies widely by brand, type,
location of sensor, and several other things.

Right or wrong, here's how I did it. �Feel the air coming from the
registers. �It should be warm when it comes on and still slightly warm
when it goes off.

Check our furnace specs.


the coller on and off the more efficent it is BUT, who wants a icey
draft?
