Does this booster fan turn on/off with the central/furnace fan? I'm worried about having it run when the central fan isn't running.

It has it's own plug, It is independent of the Furnace fan. It run when you turn it on and stops when you turn it off. It is will help circulate air when the central fan is not running and helps in pulling air to outlaying rooms.

It has an independent switch not coordinated with the furnace fan. But if it were to run without the furnace fan, it would only harmlessly help circulate air into the room. I bought a $16 remote switch (ceiling fan dept at Lowe's), and put it in-line with the power to the booster through my attic. I leave the booster fan switch in the "on" position and now I turn mine on and off with a remote (usually at bedtime).

The booster fan runs continuously when it is turned on. In my situation, having continuous operation when my furnace wasn't running created a negative pressure on my HVAC ductwork, drawing in cold air via my air-to-air exchange system (defeated the whole purpose of my purchase). If this unit would have cycled on/off with my furnace, I would probably still have it (I returned it).

No, it does not. This fan sacrifices that ability (which would involve a complicated installation), for the simplicity of a drop-in/plug-in installation. It simply plugs into a standard outlet, and is controlled only by the on/off toggle switch on top.

They are not wired to the central furnace. They come with their own switch.

It does not. It runs constantly when switched on. I have mine remotely controlled by a Lowes IRIS smart plug to start it from my cell phone before I arrive at my beach condo. It seems to be a pretty heavy duty device, however, and I have no hesitation in letting it run for several days in a row without being in attendance.Hope this helps!Don

This fan runs continuously while plugged in. It it not controlled by thermostat.

It sounds like you have received a broken unit. The left button should turn the large center fan on ( it does on mine). I have had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it works just fine. I was waiting a little longer before i wrote my opinion on this product,for me its: so far so good.

Yes it does, your can set the time the fan runs once motion is detected. It can run continuously at a low CFM which you can set or for a fixed time period at maximum CFM. There are two user defined switches which gives you a varied combination of on-time versus CFM rating.

No, just the on and off and there is a time...You control oscillating by the up and down switch at the top back of the fan.and by the way, the fan didn't last very long -- don't get it.

No. It is either on or off. When on, the fan blows continually and the compressor kicks in when the room temp exceeds the temp that you set it at. When the room cools to the set temp, the compressor shuts off and then just the fan blows. Hope this helped! I love this unit..it has performed flawlessly for several years now.

it has a off/on and rheostat. but wont control my fan speed. on high all the time. the one I bought was the kbmc-13bv. the one I need is the kbmc-13bvns. they said the 13bv would work but it does not

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

When the oven is in one of the convection modes, the fan runs continuously. It does not cycle with the thermostat. The fan runs only in the convection modes.

Allot of confusion here, I was told the fan runs all the time and since some say they claim their fan does not, I called Frigidaire and they say the FAN DOES RUN ALL THE TIME, only thing that cycles is the compressor. The fan is energy efficient and keeps air on the move doing a better job, but...their own manual does not state the fan operates all the time. Not sure what models some have that claim the fan turns off when the humidiy level is reached......seems to be allot of confusion over this.

I'm not sure what you are saying. You cannot put the device on the positive side of whatever you are trying to turn on, because once it is on, it will keep the air pressure up and the switch will never turn off. In other words you end up with a positive feedback cycle. If your furnace is controlled by the switch it will never turn off. If you are trying to turn on an auxiliary fan whenever the furnace turns on, your switch should be between the output of the furnace and the auxiliary fan. That way, when the pressure drops from the furnace fan turning off, the switch will turn off the auxiliary fan. Mine has worked flawlessly since I installed it last summer.

Yes. There are three fan modes: ON, AUTO, CIRC. ON does exactly what you would think, the fan is turned on. AUTO cycles the fan with your equipment, it runs only when heating or cooling is needed. CIRC does the same thing as AUTO as the fan will run when heating or cooling is needed however it will also run the fan for total of about 20 minutes (Honeywell says 35% I believe) over the course of an hour even when heating or cooling is not needed just to move and distribute the air evenly. All three modes are options during programming. For example, in Honeywell programming mode vernacular, you can set the WAKE time of 6AM with a fan setting of ON, and then a LEAVE time of 8AM with a fan setting of AUTO. When you RETURN at 6PM you can have the fan set to CIRC and then when you SLEEP at 10PM, you can have it set to AUTO. Hope this helps.

There is a pull chain that controls the on/off and fan speed. We have our fan mounted in the garage from the ceiling. It is provides a very good airflow and would likely be too strong indoors if run on high speed. I do love the fan. I wish I would have bought it years ago.

Contrary to what others have answered, the fan runs continuously on the 2 units I own. It doesn't matter if the heat bulbs are on or not, and it doesn't matter if the room has warmed up to the selected temperature. I'm not sure if mine are defective or if mine are older models without a fan shut off feature. I bought them from family farm and home in late 2013. The continuously running fan is one feature that I do NOT like about these units.

The fan will run once the heat bulbs warm up and when they cool down. If the room/area gets to the set temperature and the bulbs have cooled off, then the fan will also turn off until the heat is required again.

There is an option to run the fan where it is always on. There is an "auto" function when it only runs when the furnace/ac is running. And there is a function where it can be set to run randomly about 35% of the time whether the furnace/ac is running or not.

While running on the automatic thermostat feature, does the fan stay running constantly? Will it shut itself off at a time setting? Can you set it shut itself off after four hours of run time?
