compressor, the cost of running the fan was nothing.

I recently had some A/C service done, and the tech recommended that I

leave
the furnace blower running constantly, letting the heat and cooling come

on
as needed. The theory is that is would "even out" the air temperatures
throughout the house (I have a 2-story house with basement, dual zone
system). Makes sense to me, but wanted to know what the smart folks in

this
ng thought?



If you want to, run it all the time.

With a good filter installed, it will also help get a lot of the dust out

of
the air.



If you coils were icing up your system needed charging.
