Lin,
If you are building a new garage by all means put 220 outlets in when you
are building it. A compressor big enough to run a blast cabinet will run on
220. Most home lifts have a small motor and will work on 110 just fine.
The cost of doing it right (220) now will be much less than doing it later.
I put 100 amp service in my garage and wish I had a little more. More power
= more toys.

Subject: electric line for air compressor
I will shortly be building a new garage. I will ultimately install an air
compressor for a blasting cabinet. I have collected some previous emails
about suggestions for size, brand and etc. for the compressor. What I need
to know now is do the compressors that I might use in my garage for cleaning
parts in a cabinet - not wholesale blasting of large body parts - require a
220 line or is 110 sufficient?
I am also thinking about a back yard buddy 4 post lift. Does it require a
220 line? Their on-line ad says either?
Thanks.
