Thank you that is exactly what I was wondering and what I was hoping to do. Just like you said I figure the more room I can give myself the better to work in there plus if I ever end up upgrading my service and end up needing more amps I will already have the panel/room and space.

It will be for the most part, at some point I know one or two friends will find their way over to give me a hand. I'm just concerned about splitting 100 amps between both a garage that will have a decent amount of usage and the house.

Hey guys I have a few questions for you that have either installed or have had a sub panel installed. I guess my first question is how high of an amperage breaker would be recommended or how would I calculate for one? the garage is 22x24 it will have a pretty decent sized compressor (amperage...

Yeah it does look pretty old, and yeah everything is mostly gas powered, no well/heat pump, central ac is of course electric, heater runs on gas. and only a small sump pump down stairs yeah I didn't know you could upgrade service like that I will defiantly have to check that out as that may be...

Well my concern is that my breaker in the house says it only has a 100 amp main and I doubt I could or rather should get a sub panel that has too high of a amperage rating out in the garage to run the lights/lift/compressor/welder/window ac/heater/ and a fridge now obviously I wont be running...

I was looking at exactly that one on farm and fleets site like a week ago lol I was originally thinking about that one but gravitated towards the 3 phase for the lower amperage draw, now that you guys have explained a little to me on both electrical availability and amperage specifications I...

Thank you for all the good info. I was hoping someone would chime in with exactly that kind of knowledge. I believe your right about the 3 phase as well I doubt I have it so I will defiantly keep an eye on that to make sure I don't buy a compressor I cant even power. I will defiantly start...

Thats a good find. Thanks. Im not sure if 60 gallons would be enough or not to be honest. Im not to thrilled about the 22-23 amp draw but its not a deal breaker I could probably make that work. Ive beed lucky and am used to working with multiple 120+ gallon compressors out of shops. Just...

Ive really thought about going this route but I was an automotive mechanic and don't know much about air compressors incase something went wrong. Im sure I could figure it out and handle any possible hiccup but I don't really want the headache of it in case something did occur.

Yeah I know i was surprised as well. They have quite a few different ones online and the one I listed up top is actually cheaper than on most other websites I have seen it on. Who would of thought.

As a tech for 5 years before being laid off I can tell you this much. Most of the time you will be living check to check. Every person I met in the field and every person I know in the field (every single one of my guy friends and even some girls as well as just about everyone else I talk to...

Any of you guys have any personal experience with this air compressor? http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/203623839?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=203623839&R=203623839#.UdjZbxadvuM Im looking for any feed back on reliability and sound levels also if anyone has used it with a hvlp...
