I have big problems with this in my garage too. vinyl siding, garage door opens to the north, insulated etc. etc. I've learned that as the weather starts warming up, you go out and open the garage door on warm dry days, to let the slab warm up. Then go out and buy a dehimidifier and let...

Rigging Service or Cartage Service

Just over $100/yrad here in KC. And that's assumeing you don't get charged for a short load, don't want any water reducer etc.

I was under the impression that AFCI's were only required on circuits that served bedrooms.... is this incorrect? I have rewired half of my house (upgrading old BX cable to 12-2 w/ gr. romex) but haven't replaced any of the breakers yet.... I am also planning a kitchen addition for this...

Thanks for the advice Greatbear. I will give it a go. The compressor is in about 3 pieces right now, but should be back together in a week or so, I will have to give it a go then. I might have to come back and ask some questions about sizing my overload relay heater coils.....

Greatbear, you seem to have a solid understanding of what is going on here. The motor shop told me basically the same thing that you are saying, and even gave me two 10Ohm resistors. Before the resistors, this issue would happen every time like clockwork. Since I installed the resistors...

I don't think it has that set-up, because it will do it sometimes, and won't do it others. I would think the motor shop would have mentioned it if it had this type of set-up.....

I believe it is happening at the same time the centrifugal switch is resetting. There have been a few (1-2) times when the motor hasn't made the terrible noise, and it will just slowly spin to a stop. When this happens all you hear is a gentle "click" when it switches back into the start...

I have that exact stuff in my house. I have heard it called BX as well. It's super tough stuff, but has many strikes against it. un-grounded mine is 14 Ga (20 amp breakers installed when I bought the house yikes!) Cloth-covered insulation (flammable!!! ask me how I know) possibly aluminum...

Hi all- I've been lurking on here for quite some time now, and have been fairly active on the HAMB, but haven't really needed any garage advice until now. So here's the deal, I scored a free quincy 216-L air compressor w/ 60 gal tank, only bummer was that it was set up for 3 phase power. No...
