I also have an auto drain on mine connected to the light switch in the shop. that way it only drains when the lights are on. it is a timed unit so it drains on a schedule (and scares the crap outta anybody standing close, haha)

...auto timer....?? You are officially over the top. Do you guys even have moisture in the air way up there in Canada??? The coil is a good idea. Thought about a radiator/heat exchanger as well but the long hose and multiple cheap filters won out.
