I'd set it up to be thermostatically controlled to run whenever heat is

bad idea.



There is a thermostat for the furnace. One upstairs and one the Fan Switch

IDK what that picture is supposed to represent. You say you
have a wood/electric furnace. This pic is of a gas furnace.
The rest of the post is confusing too. You say the fire gets
roaring, the fan comes on for one to two minutes, and then what?
Fan shuts off for good? Fan cycles on/off? Without knowing
more, how it's wired, impossible to say what's going on.



I do sometimes turn on the manual switch but if left on after the fire is out, it will only blow cold air...of course. I wish that switch would be upstairs instead then I would be less prone, and lazy, to turn it off.







The technician seemed to think otherwise about the two speed fan. But this is just one guys opinion
