And double the price for install and an automatic transfer switch! I'm no electrician, but they had to re-do every ground wire in the fuse panel in order to do the transfer switch too. Oh, and run a gas line.

That's why I did this: $900 generator and $250 for transfer panel and outdoor plus. I can power the bare essentials without running extension cords everywhere. The little Honda 2000 will run all day on a gallon of gas. The EU3000 is even better (and electric start), but is close to $3k....
