With all the halides and stuff I run, that should tell ya something.
I tell ya it was a kick in the pants to find out our new furnace has a 110v fan instead of the variable 3 speed DC fan I -thought- was coming with it...grr. I think the AC fan motor uses 6amps...so that's the same as running 2 250w MH ALL DAY LONG!! huge bill

But, we also bought an HRV unit, just has to be installed. I'm really looking forward to it.
