Looking into options to heat my 30x50 barn. Barn is 150ft from the house 200ft from the rd. What would be the better option? Run appropriate size gas line from the house (would be tied into existing piping and not the meter). Or contact Gas Co and if economically feasible have them run a new...

Well, got my subpanel wired "thanks to info on this site". Wired up the compressor to a 30A breaker flipped the switch and it came to life. So it looks like something was up with the generator, either way the compressor works fine and pumped up numerous times to 130 and back on at approx 85 so...
