It will keep you more even and clean your air better , but figure the
cost. I pay 0.12 KWH my fan pulls apx 400 watts or 9600 a day , at
0.12 thats 1.152 a day or 34.56 a month. Well my entire electric bill
last month was 15. I think I like the savings of 350 a year, but you
may enjoy the comfort Also fan motors only last just so long.



Running constant fan is not going to hurt your equipment, but if the
ducting is leaking to the exterior; it will amplify any losses you may
already have. As air leaves the building through leaks in the ducting, it
is replaced by air infiltrating through crawl space, attic etc.
