One year old and already having troubles with it. In all
seriousness........get used to it. You will have many repairs, lots of
fun cleaning, lots of popping noises and dusty looking hardwood floors
and tabletops.
There are better choices or watch your money run down the drain.
....and I used to be a big electronic air cleaner fan.

Hi,
Typically they are connected to EAC terminals on the furnace logic
cocntrol board. It is on only when fan is running. Mine is more than
10 years old and still works fine.

So, Tony, what if his 'system' furnace doesn't have the nice "control
board?" What, if his system utilizes just the orignal spark ignition system
without the 'nice control' board?

Hi,
Then it goes to blowe motor power line. Common sense when it supposes
to run with blower.

Hi,
House was built in 2006. If EAC terminal is not present, feed it from
blower motor power terminal. Common sense.
