Square D has very good pressure switches with unloaders. Pricier than Furnas. I believe without looking it up that NFPA 70 requires that a disconnect be within sight of any motor over 1/8 hp. I may have that hp rating confused with requiring a thermal cut-out and the switch is required at a higher hp rating but you get the principle.
