If I remember right it was right around there. I will try to dig up the receipt. There is a big electrical panel also. Pic below. The house was wired for a generator when it was built so I am not sure if there are extra costs involved or not. I would for sure call around locally and see what prices you can get. I think our unit itself was around $3K-ish.
This is part of what senses when the power goes out and switches it over to the generator. Pic of electrical box:

Edit: We found ours through the electrician that wired it all up. He does like 5 a year and gets a discount on the parts and he passed it on to us. Be sure to ask electrician friends!

thanks for the info, madwi. :tup: yah, my house was not designed for such generator and requires village ordinace folks (and HOA) to approve before i can move forward. and that was where we kinda bottlenecked and stopped.

i sent your link to my wife and will see wat needs to be done. if its a huge pita to get this installed i'll probably end up with a honda generator, but if not, i'd prefer to install these natural gas ones. :tup:

If it helps out at all, we found this electrician through the builder of our house. He was amazing to us and he hired others that were awesome too. If you know of a good contractor, hit them up and inquire about who might do this type of work. Chances are if they themselves are good contractors, they know others in other fields that are TRUE professionals and are worth the $.

It ALWAYS started in 3 pulls and ran like a dream! Oil change is easy too. I have nothing but praise for Honda generators. I actually gave it to my uncle that goes camping alot. I *THINK* they are approved for use in loads of camping places because they are so quiet.

this is why it's always been in the back of my head to buy one.

but if i was to power our fridge with it, i would need a pretty big one, so was like hummmm... no place to put it. :ugh:
