What can POSSIBLY be gained by leaving it "ON" to operate extra cycles?
And, if something ever goes wrong such as a burst hose (if a hose is accidentally left connected and/or the valve is not shut off) the unit will run STEADY getting HOT 'til you show up on the scene to shut it off.

I believe this was mandated by the insurance Co's.
ANYHOW, that is how my shop is wired. And, the compressor, being non-essential, goes "OFF" when I pull the switch and leave the building for the night.
