Split system, I have six separate ducts that branch off the main collector. I believe they are 8” ducts.

I’m wondering if it’s just a crappy unit... don’t get me wrong, it works.. 110 outside and inside will be 80-83 but unit runs all day.

Interestingly enough .. The company recommend two 2ton mini splits

I hope the duct work is the correct sizing... 18" return duct and six 8" lex lines coming off the main distribution box. I have scheduled an appointment to have my setup reviewed by a professional.

Re: Need quiter compressor I have considered leaving my current compressor in my small garage, running 3/4 PEX 135 feet to the shop, remote on/off switch, remote air take in shop... Just a lot more a lot more tubing, wires, switches to run when I can buy a compressor and park it in the shop.

Re: Need quiter compressor I think that Eastwood Scroll is a winner. Leaning that direction.

I'm on the hunt for a quiter air compressor.. Currently have a 30 gallon Craftsman, oil less. Works great, no problems for 10 years... Loud as **** Looking at a used Delivlbiss Pro 4000 two stage 6.5, 80gal... Some have posted that it's just as loud and some say it's much quiter. Other...
