Just interested to hear what problems if any people had in colder weather and any problems tripping breakers?

I live in az... So cold weather for us is 35f.... It does state in the manual not to operate below about 30ishF (I remember reading it).... As far as tripping breakers: it works fine on a 15A 110v circuit witha stereo plugged in as well.... So maybe it pulls 10A peak when it starts at most... Hope this helps...

If your tripping breakers its because if you are using this outside in low temps. The oil in the crankcase is getting too thick, so either don't use it outside in the winter or try keeping it warm. I only use mine inside and I have had no problems with it at all.

No problems starting in cold weather with the electric start. I have never tripped a breaker either. Very satisfied with this brand and model.

This machine is great value. I run it into a much larger tank when I need longer runs and it outperforms my greatest expectations in all temps. Central Texas gets very hot and this thing works in summer and during a freeze in winter. It starts and stops as designed, never a tripped breaker. That of course depends more on your power supply than the compressor. If this thing trips a breaker, your wiring is too light.

Not thermal, yes it will trip around 15A, if you breaker doesn't trip first.

No. I use mine on a barn hydrant located in a 3 sided barn. Temperatures get cold here as we average 100+ inches of snowfall each year. I do have a fault breaker switch on the outlet. Should the heating unit malfunction, the outlet will break the circuit , even if the short is not large enough to trip the main circuit breaker.I have used this heat cable for years with no trouble.

Never have had a problem. Live in a northern state and have survived 6 winters without issue.

I cannot recommend the Marshall or any automatic unit if you leave in a freezing climate. They have a tendency to freeze during normal use. You get a few seconds of flow and then it stops. You have to go outside and thaw them with warm water or a blow dryer. And yes, I installed the Marshall correctly. I called tech support and they reluctantly stated that even when installed correctly there is no guarantee it won't freeze. The better choice is a manual switch.

I have had no problems. This is year three and I just flick the switch and zoom. Our service is 18 amp.

I have had mine for over a year and it has worked perfectly. I live in Texas so very few really cold days but I have no complaint. I agree with the twisting in the plug thing, I have to make sure I connect well but there is a light indicator.

Should be unaffected by weather. Mine worked fine through all 4 seasons included rain, snow and an ice storm.

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

I still have the initial fuses. Don't move it when it's working nor after working. It needs time to get cold. If you don't do that the fuses use to break.

We have used the unit all summer and love it. Unit has never tripped breaker. We have 200 amp service which is pretty normal.

This happened to me also, the problem is that the unit gets too cold and will not work. I'm not happy with that, it should work in the winter.

Thank God I live in a place where I can't answer that. But as an electrician I really can't imagine that the cold would affect it. It does seem to work well so far, and my only complaint is that is it very loud. I mean really loud. Good luck. David

Yes I have had no issues with unit so far. And with the sub zero temperatures lately it is still working fine.

I live in Arizona where it reaches above 110 outside, and I havn't had any problems with these speakers. As far as extreme cold, that I really can't help you with.

the gate motors freeze in the winter. i had to disassemble 3 times this winter. i gave up and left it disassembled.
