Riser
Our pump mounting plate riser is designed to raise the pump allowing 360-degree air flow from the flywheel to cool the pump oil reservoir. Pump mount risers also allow air to flow under the pump for maximum cooling.
Continuous Run/Dual Control
Dual Control
Dual control allows users to run the unit with automatic start/stop control, or the optional continuous run setting during high duty cycle peak demand periods.
Optional Settings
The optional continuous run setting allows the pump to cool internally and save the electric motor and magnetic switch from excessive frequent starting and stopping of the electric motor.
Pressure Lube
Pressure Lubrication is the second type of lubrication systems. This system is more technically advanced and a far more precise method to deliver oil to critical parts of the pump, resulting in longer pump life. The oil is pumped through an oil filter and into the pump where it is then recycled and reused. Since the oil pump is delivering the oil more efficiently the viscosity of the oil is less critical than with a splash system. In the air compressor industry, it is typically more costly to upgrade to pressure lubrication systems. *Our high efficiency manufacturing facility 0to the tank. With this radiator, we target outlet air to the tank within 10 degrees of ambient temperature.

Silent Air
Noise Reduction
Our Patented Silent Air system works by dissipating compressor intake noise through a series of noise cancellation plates, reducing DBA ratings by up to 50%. Silent air compressors operate at a normal conversation level in comparison to traditional compressors that operate at the level of a police siren.
Air Filtration
This low-profile system not only makes the compressor quieter but also adds four levels of air filtration.
Silent Air Technology
- Significantly lowers the risk of hearing damage
- Decrease in employee turnover
- Enhances workplace satisfaction
Tensioner
Piston
Piston compressors come optional with a belt tensioner. This belt tensioner allows you to easily and quickly tighten your belts. These tensioners also have a double bolt tension device that allows you to keep the belts in perfect alignment. No pry bars needed to tighten your belts!
Rotary
All Rotary Screw belt driven models 5HP – 20HP include an automatic spring-loaded belt tensioning device. This keeps a steady pressure for optimal belt tension.
Auto Drain
Operation
A dual timer electric auto drain is a device designed to expel moisture and water from the air receiver tank.
Interval Setting Feature
It has an adjustable interval setting feature that allows you to set the device from 1 to 45-minute drain cycles. You can also set the timing of how long you want the drain to stay open.
Muffler Included
Our premium series compressors Include an air muffler for quiet dispensing of water.

Piston Compressor Warranty
Eaton Compressor, backs all our piston air compressors with the best extended warranty in the industry. With our extended warranty, we don’t ask you to buy a service plan, we just ask that you purchase and use our oil and filters. This ensures the correct oil and filters are being used, to keep your piston air compressor running for years to come. We have 3 different extended warranty options to choose from so you can pick what best suits your company’s needs. Make sure to research and ask questions, when comparing warranty information. Be certain, when you buy, that you are getting a full warranty. Our trained service and support team is ready to assist you if you ever need them and we carry a full line of air compressor replacement parts.
Motor
These units have name brand OPD (open drip motors) on them, all of which carry a five-year warranty. All of our motors are low RPM (1750 rpm), versus the higher RPM motors (3450 RPM) used on many competitive units. 1750 RPM motors run much cooler than 3450 RPM motors, because of the higher torque factor. They also yield low harmonic distortion, provide much higher torque in cold weather starting and requiring less electricity under start up.
- Large 1-3/8” output shaft
- High quality ball bearings on the front and rear of the motor shaft
- Large starting and running capacitors15 Service Factor load. This means the motor can be pulled 15% over full load for more break horsepower
- Dynamically balanced armature for low vibration levels

I just got this unit installed in my home shop and I am glad I bought the whisper quiet version. My space has only one door and the shop acts like a resonating chamber for noise. The air compressor is very quiet. I have no hesitation making a phone call while in the shop. When I am within a foot of the air compressor, I need to talk directly to another person but I do not have to yell. When I run the unit in ‘continuous mode’ with the motor on and the pump essentially not, the noise pattern doesn’t change much which would indicate that most of the noise from the unit is not from the pump.
Initial perceptions on quality are very good. I don’t have a lot of hours on the compressor to validate longevity, but many of the things I found missing on other industrial air compressors are there on this one. I was concerned about the ‘motor’ not being named as to which brand when I bought the unit, but I received a Leeson motor to which I am happy.

Purchase and delivery were as smooth and timely as could be. The compressor is quite impressive flawless powder coat and paint, quality plumbing and then there is the noise level or I should say the lack of noise level.This is the quietest compressor ever,builds air fast and quietly love the machine would recommend it to anyone.

Installation was straight forward but I did have a couple of questions. Called and they were answered answered very quickly. Be prepared and line up some help to remove from pallet and move inside, its not a one person job. Happy with purchase and to support an American Company.

Its not too often I get excited about something "I have to buy" for the shop, but I gotta tell you, this compressor is the real deal! The whole experience was enjoyable, and I could not be happier. My Sales person, Megan is top notch, as she did everything to inform me about the product. She arranged the whole purchase from start to finish and I could not be happier. The unit looks awesome and with the silencer on it, it is very quite! I have a small shop and I was really concerned with the noise level. I have not had this unit very long, but if it runs as well as it looks and sounds, I will be a very happy Boy! I highly recommend this product as its everything and more than what they say it is! Thanks again for the great service, Richard Gaglio @ Gaglio Construction Services

Best deal for the money, and wonderful people too! I had been in the market for a compressor for my shop for a while, my mind was pretty much made up on a competitor’s model until a friend of mine sent me a link to a video of one of the quiet compressors running. I did some looking and found out that they were made a couple of hours away from where I live in Ohio. I decided to make a visit to hear one of these quiet compressors in real life and see for myself. When I got to the showroom I told the lady that greeted me what I was interested in and she said someone would be with me shortly. After a bit of a wait Matt came out to greet us and started describing the features of the Polar Air quiet compressors. I asked him if I could hear one run for myself. He said sure and took me through the factory and described the various processes that we walked past and gave a short history of the company. We got to a final prep area in the factory and they were finishing up a 10 hp model and he turned it on, I was sold, It was amazing how quiet that compressor was. Everyone that I met and worked with through the process was great. Megan was helpful in the ordering process and she answered every question I had. Two weeks later when it was time to pick up the compressor that I ordered, the experience was the same, everyone was more than helpful. Thank you to Jeff who loaded the compressor in my truck and helped to strap it down. The purchasing and pick up experience was top notch. Not only did I get a compressor with more standard features than all of the competitor models that I looked at, I got more compressor for the money! and it came from an American company. Thank you!!

Very nice looking and running unit. The only issue I had with hooking it up, was the control box is pretty tight. adding the ground wire to the one to the motor makes it almost impossible to get the screws started back into the backplate for reinstalling the cover. other than that it is a great unit.
Thank You

Greg Hutcheson –
Entire staff (I talked to a few different staff) is more than helpful. Quick response each time I contacted them and were very helpful in every aspect of each transaction. The compressor is so quite and what a beast. Thanks (especially Jamie) for all your help. I only wish I would have purchased this sooner. Thanks again!!

The Team at the Englewood facility has a Customer Focus they make sure from start to finish the customers needs are understood and met. I started and finished my purchase with Megan who did a Great job. When I had a few questions she wasnt sure on the answer she had me talk with Matt who I believe is her dad. He answered all of my questions and helped me explore all of the solutions that would work for me. I never felt rushed or like I was taking to much of their time, their focus was getting me a solution Ithat met all of my requirements. Ultimately my goal to eliminate China from anything I buy lead me to the industrial 5hp 80 gallon Ploar Blue with Silencer. Its a little more than I need and will definetly out live me but I know when its called upon it will perform. Quality and Customer Focus never stopped from the HILO driver to Jeff who came up when I was strapping it in my trailer and made sure the load was secure. Jeff jumped right in even when I said I’ve got it. I’m glad he did because the unit has a high CG and getting it back Michigan safely was paramount. Thanks to the Team at Eaton my compressor is setup and working well, my next purchase will be the air dryer. Don S. of D and A Development LLC Shelby Township, Mi.

Took delivery of my compressor just over a week ago. Delivered well crated and was in perfect shape upon arrival. Very easy to wire up. With the help of a tractor and a very strong friend, got it installed in my shop. I upgraded in order to have a quieter compressor and to keep my neighbors happy. Must say, it exceeded my expectations. Only issue was the switch. Spoke with the tech today (quick response). Recommended a quick rap to the switch with the end of a rubber handled screwdriver to reseat a needle that got out of adjustment during shipping. As promised, took care of the issue. Looking forward to many years of quiet air!

The compressor fits the needs of my garage perfectly. It is installed adjacent to a wall shared with a bedroom. At worst it sounds like a washing machine on spin cycle from the bedroom, and its unnoticeable in the next room over. Quality so far seems great, and like the continuous run feature for my blasting setup that pulls a lot of air. The staff at Polar Air have also been great to work with, were responsive to all my questions and helped accommodate a very specific delivery timing. Thanks!

Customer service was A1 from the very beginning and all went smoothly. This air compressor is extremely quiet and has plenty of air for my vapor hone. Would 10/10 recommend!!

We purchased 2 compressors at the same time. A five horse single phase with the whisper quiet 80 gallon unit. Which we are using in our home/race shop barn. Our sales rep was incredibly helpful everything shipped much faster than expected. Would suggest this unit to anyone. The specs on these units are incredible and or and are worth the price. Our local dealer came over to give us a quote and looked at the quality of what we were getting from Eaton and said he can’t compete go with them he would! Very happy with this compressor.

Cam Abernethy (verified owner) –
We purchased this compressor in October for our first CNC machine and we are very happy with it! We are happy with the added silencer too because our shop is very small. A Youtube channel (NYC CNC) recommended it and we could not be happier with it.

I received my compressor and I have to say the quality of this machine is very impressive. Every single component used is top quality. I wired it up and it really is extremely quiet I am able to stand next to it and have a conversation. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

When purchasing and picking my product up, customer service was excellent. Had a few compressor issues once installed but Jamie in warranty made fixing the issue effortless and they provided me with all the necessary things to fix my compressor. Has worked great ever since!

I have this compressor in my home shop/barn and am highly impressed. It replaced a much smaller Dewalt that broke and I had to turn in to a “Frankenpressor” to keep it stumbling along. Very loud and low volume of air.
I don’t have those problems any more.

Calvin –
I have had this compressor for a few months now and am very happy with it. I replaced a Dewalt that failed and I had to cobble together a fix to make a “Frankenpressor.” It was loud, and didn’t have much capacity.
I don’t have those problems any more.
I have not been able to use the full capacity of this compressor. I have been able start using my Harbor Freight blasting cabinet. While I am using it, the compressor kicks on, and off, while I am still working.
I am not a “high volume” user, and this compressor may be more than what I need in my home shop, but I am very happy with its performance over the past few months.
(They do offer a “free air tool with review” offer, but as I bought the compressor about four months ago, I am not sure if I am out of the time frame for it, so I leave this review whether I get a free tool or not.)

Mike Lawrence –
Love the compressor. Fills the tank quickly and releases the head pressure for the next start.
This thing is a beast. I struggled to get it moved to its final resting place.
The documentation was poor. The manual was for a combination of different compressors and the one I bought wasn’t even represented anywhere.
But the tech support was excellent. I got all of my questions answered thoughtfully and the response time was acceptable.
Highly recommend.

Should have bought this compressor years ago. This thing is a beast and could have made work a lot easier not having to wait for the the air to catch back up like I did with my old one. Loving this thing.

Bought this compressor to replace an old compressor that had failed. There was a long lead time when we ordered, but Eaton Compressor got it done ahead of schedule to get us back online. Auto purge and quiet operation are it’s strong features. Eaton Compressor is a Christian based company and a business that I will support. Thank you.

Works well as a central compressor sourcing air for multiple machines in a lab/manufacturing setting. No issues thus far after 6 months of operation

I am a farmer in Willis, Michigan. My old compressor finally gave out after 43 years and was beyond repair. I started my search for a new one that was quiet and same specs. Watched on line videos, read reviews and read forums on AG talk. Came up with your compressor. Was skeptical about how quiet it would be, we hooked it up and very impressed. The silent air impressed all the guys in shop. Every aspect of the purchasing, delivery and our install process went flawlessly

We are so thrilled with the purchase of our Polar Vertical 5HP Compressor!
After installation and thorough checks we started the compressor and could not believe how quiet it ran.
We were able to carry on a normal conversation right there beside the compressor with no problems hearing each other!
Great product guys! Thanks for creating an absolute awesome machine!

4 years ago a friend of mine purchased a Polar Air Compressor. He has always told me it was an excellent compressor. Fast forward to February 2024 and my old compressor finally failed. I was skeptical of how quiet the compressors are on the videos I viewed, but my friend told me I wouldn’t be disappointed. He was right. It is night and day how much quieter this compressor is compared to my old one. I used to not be able to talk to anyone in my barn when the compressor started, and that was on opposite sides of the barn. Now unfortunately I can hear the wife with no problem. Well worth the wait and price. Thanks for an excellent product..

I needed to upgrade my compressor and wanted a very quiet yet powerful compressor. I purchased the 5HP 80 Gal Pressure Lubricated Silent Air unit. I am very impressed with how quiet it is and how cool it runs. Seems to be very well balanced and has very minimal vibration. Overall, quite pleased with this purchase!
