Aprilaire 700 Fan Hard-wired to Furnace EAC Terminal

We just had an Aprilaire 700 installed and I just found out that the installer hard-wired the fan power cord directly to the EAC terminal on the furnace. According to the furnace manual, "The EAC terminals are rated for 115VAC, 1.0 amps maximum and are energized during blower motor operation." I see most people use an external outlet for the fan power. Just wondering if this is OK and will not overload the furnace circuit.

Thank you very much for your advice.
