Any idea how much current a 1/4 hp squirrel cage blower in our heat pump would use?

Before we got this new 3 ton unit we ran the system blower almost 24/7, because the wife wanted the air circulating.

I explained that it used up Kwh of electricity, but couldn't tell her exactly how much.

Is there a chart I can go to? or just an off the top of your head guestimate?

This new Goodman 3 ton heat pump keeps us toasty now.

You will have to check the tag on the motor. You will need to figure the watts this way, amps x volts = watts Greg
