Then I had my compressor circuit wired through a relay from an overhead light circuit. When I turn the lights off, the compressor cannot cycle on.
It has worked flawlessly, and wife is much happier now.
As for a compressor recommendation, stay away from the oil less, and get as big a unit as you can fit or afford.
I have a 80 gal IR, it is going on 15 years with no issues. |
Fortunately for me, the garage and workshop is detached. Its my man cave escape pod. Heat/AC, U-Verse digital TV, stereo, internet.
I do intend on putting the compressor in an insulated closet or out shed. not sure yet. It depends on the farthest hose run I can do.
