Know what to ask when renting air compressors
How many cubic feet per minute does it produce?
What type of power is needed?
Electric units are most popular for indoor applications or jobsites with nearby electrical power sources. Otherwise, engine-powered units can be used outdoors where carbon monoxide fumes are allowed to diffuse. Gas-engine compressors are much more common than diesel units, which are mostly reserved for heavy-duty construction tools.
How does the unit work?
Although manufacturers have tried to simplify the designs of air compressors, it is not uncommon for end-users to do something incorrectly when using them. Don’t be afraid to ask how a feature on the air compressor works.
