Question about the blower on an Englander 28-3500

[Mohomeowner]

I need to know what kind of wattage the fan on the Englander 28-3500 draws while running. I'm wanting to put in this furnace eventually in a future house build that I am designing. I am going to have a battery backup system and and trying to decide what size I need to have.

So, does anyone know what's the running wattage for the fan? I would like to measure it with a killawatt meter if I knew someone who had this furnace.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Anyone know??

3.2 amp at 115 vac, should be right at 370 watts continuous when running

You're in luck. I just checked this with my Kilowatt meter it's between 305-307 watts. I am hooked into the cold air return, so there may some slow down there. That's also through a filter. My fan motor also says 3Amps
