Powering a New CM1500 with Ambient HVAC in Orlando, Florida
Ambient HVAC needed an insulation blower that would top off an attic (about 1,500 sq feet on average) in about an hour. We recommended the CM1500 with two 13.7amp blowers. This is a great machine for a contractor wanting great performance in a portable machine.
HVAC contractors quickly notice the need for insulation. As they are on-site, repairing or installing a new AC unit in the attic space, they can help the homeowner with their insulation needs as well.
The CM1500 with the larger two blowers, requires two inputs. One input is 15amps. The other input is rated at 20amps. It is not difficult to find a 15amp outlet in a house. Garages, kitchens and bathrooms commonly have the 20amp service. Tools, kitchen appliances and hair dryers require more amps and that is why these locations are typically outfitted with a 20 amp service.
When you purchase a new machine, we highly encourage you to purchase new extension cords. With a machine, like the CM1500, you will do well with a 12 gauge extension cord. Since the CM1500-2 Blower has a 20 amp input, you can locally source an adapter for your extension cord. Or, better yet, make sure you purchase the cords through us. They will have the right connections.
It took 1 hour to top off 1,300 sq feet of attic space and add R-38 to the 200 sq ft garage. Ambient was very happy with their purchase. Our goal is not to sell you more than you need, and certainly not less than you need!
