Hello,

I'm in the process of installing a Quadra Fire 3100i and wanted to know if it's possible to replace the standard blower switch assembly with something like this http://www.amazon.com/Lutron-TT-300...ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1257320860&sr=1-1

The standard blower switch is rated at 115 V and 3 amps so my only concern with using something else is that it won't meet the amps rating: Powering a lamp is a little different than turning two fan motors. Has anyone had experience with this?

Thanks,

BRnPA
