I could and probably should but.................our fan is powered by a 220v. motor and it is not a capacitor start. I get a little light flicker when it all kicks in together. (220v. compressor too) I should get a inductive pick up amp meter and see how much current it draws on start up and running. Most of the new systems have a variable speed fan motor that can be run at a slow speed to keep the air moving. That's especially good in a 3 level house where the air stratifies. It's probably 10-15° hotter upstairs than in the basement. That low speed fan is also good if you have a Hepa air filter or a electrostatic air cleaner. I think I'll go turn my fan on. :thumbsup:
