    Insulation done! Shop heater questions. Electrical gurus.

    A 220 heater will heat quicker while drawing less amps, this is why anything using heating is 220; such as electric dryer or stove plug a 1500W 110 heater in and watch your meter and then do the same with a 220 1500W heater

    Powering a 230v air compressor

    Minimum Air Compressor

    well there is such thing as too big, both size and voltage; a quick look through the local classified site shows ones that are 600 volt 3 stage, and are 100 gallon, thats oversized and not needed for 99.9% of people

    Wagner power painters...?

    airless painters aren't made for automotive painting, they don't have enough pressure to make paint look flat and you'll end up with more orange peel then a tropicana orange juice factory
