I don't know much about such things but it seems to me that two 4 HP fans would not produce 8 HP! I contacted the company and they said it was a regular 3 prong plug and that it shouldn't be an issue.... Quote "If your home is relatively new, the amp draw should not be a problem. The few times it has been an issue it was with much older homes. If the unit is the only appliance plugged in, it should be fine." Of course I knew this reply would say something to this effect since it is the company selling the product....guess I will give it a shot and if it doesn't work I will return it for the 9.5 amp model....My concern is if I can't use it on a garage outlet with a 15 amp breaker, I have some on a 20 amp but they are in the kitchen and the bathrooms, it would be a pain to run heavy gauge ext. chord everytime I wanted to use it!!! Also, I am in the process of identifying the curcuits in my home to see what is where but it seems to me, and keep in mind I know next to nothing about electricity, that a 19 amp appliance on a 20 amp breaker would not allow anything else to share it....I imagine my wife turning on a light or the toaster (or whatever may share the curcuit) and trip it while I'm using the blower. Thanks for your response Speedy Petey....and don't worry, I never take anything personally.
