Crap weather here also.

Crap? I love this weather! Better to be snowing then raining.

No problem it is only controlling the back up.

Looks like dual-fuel with a vengeance...

The hardest working boilers in show business. My layouts always work. If they fail I blame someone else.

The only potential problem I can see with your system is the Snoopy thermometer. Could get a little hinky in high fire.

Your contractor is correct in telling you to turn the fan to on. Yes it will run 100% of the time that is just what you want. Just to mention a few benefits 1- More even temperatures from room to room 2- Better air filtration 3- Less temperature swings between the on and off cycles.

When the fan switch is on the on position the motor runs at a much lower speed and uses depending on the model about the same as a 50 watt light bulb.

Finally, someone who gets it... You're new around here, huh? Careful of the variable-speed bashers, they will try to turn you to the Dark Side... :D

Someone missed the point. Reread the first post. LOL

heating1cooling, if you had bothered to read through before jumping the gun on the rate button you would have read that my issue with VS motors is their repair/replacement costs and NOT their quality. Much higher repair/replacement costs are a fact on these motors not my opinion.

The Dark Side eh? Is that when your VS motor goes out and after replacing it you cannot afford to pay the light bill? :p

Good one... we should take our act to the comedy forum!:D

Mark,

If you use good reliable equipment you have at least a 5 if not 10 year warranty on the motor.

We use Trane and have been VERY PLEASED with the reliability and performance if you take the time to set up the unit properly.

Several of us respectfully disagree regarding the virtues and/or drawbacks of variable speed, but the rib-poking has been good natured fun for the entire family. I, for one, wouldn't want it any other way.;)
