Well.... a typical furnace blower is 1/4 to 1/3 HP, some are
larger. A HP is 748 watts, or maybe 746. Can't remember.

My prediction is that using the furnace fan helps keep the
other rooms much more comfortable. Cuts down on complaining.
And helps filter ash and dust out of the air. All of those,
are valuable.

Can anyone tell me the general draw of a squirrel cage fan
in the plenum of
a heating/ cooling system in one or both speeds? I'm trying
to decide if
this fan is cost effective (I'll do the math) for
distributing the heat from
my wood stove. I have always contended that every use of it
defeats the
purpose of burning wood. TIA Chuck
