Appreciate input for our planning. Now is the time since we are in the design stages.

I just saw that you are in Texas. Generator Supercenter is the highest volume installer of Generac home standby power in North America. Generator Supercenter is based in Houston (Tomball) but there are franchises all over Texas.
Make sure that you get a 10 year warranty (retail $995 but ask for a discount) and sign up for the monitoring maintenance plan. It's $444 per year ($37 per month) and includes the annual service and 24/7 monitoring. Excellent value. That 10 year warranty is offered "for FREE" by Generac every February/March. The problem with waiting till February/March is getting scheduled for installation before hurricane season. The best deals are to be had between now and February 1st. Come February, you will get the Free Warranty, but very likely no other discount.
YMMV.
