I'm trying to decide whether to put my air compressor in the basement of my house or in the attached garage. Either way, the electric and air lines will be short. In the garage it would be easier to move it into place, and there would be less noise in the house. However I'm concerned about what happens when the water that condenses all over the innards of all compressors, receivers, filter, etc freezes, which it will certainly do for most of the winter in the garage. Is this a problem? The other advantage of putting it in the house is that all the heat generated by the compressor would end up in the house (albeit in the basement) where it would do some good rather than just being wasted.
