Probably the best investment I ever made. For approx 2500-2800 installed. When power goes out, it is worth every cent.

I purchased this after Hurricane Irene shook up SW CT. I got a friend who is an electrician so my install cost was only around $2,300. The unit is VERY quiet and sure enough, we got SLAMMED with a brutal October Nor'Easter and the power went out AGAIN. No worries, within a minute the power was back on. The only items this would not power were my Central A/C range and dryer. Since I plan on converting the range and dryer to propane, then really the whole house will be covered. Keep in mind if you have sump pumps/electric hot water or heat, and a well pump, you should go with the 10k unit, this one wont be enough. Since my heat and hot water are propane, and I have city water, it is MORE than enough
