After our last power outage it seems like getting a Natural Gas standby generator is the way to go. It looks like based on my needs I will need 20,000 watts. Ive heard others say their installations cost 8k or more. I went to Menards and a 20k Genrac unit is about 4K. The transfer switch looks to be another 600. I would do all the prep myself and just hire an electrican to do the electrical connections. Im thinking I could wrap it up for around $5500.
I also visited genracs site and seem to show 2 different lines of standby generators, the Guardian, and the Centurian Series. Based on their website I can't see any difference between the 2, does anyone have any insight?
My decision on what to buy won't be a quick one and I have a lot more research to do. I welcome any information.
Id also be interested in recommendations on where to buy in NW Indiana
