One of my clients just had one installed.
I have a nice portable which suits my needs, but 3 of my 4 neighbors all have whole house units that kick on automatically when the power goes out, which really isn't all that often - only during storm season.
I took some pics of the one my client got and looks like they are going for
$5,747.00 at Lowes.
I have no idea what size I'd need but I bet the one they installed would do just fine because my house is smaller than theirs. I know an electrician would know but I'm not at the point I want to get one so for now just wondering if it would be a good idea.
I have Natural Gas in the back not far from my electric meter and inside of that my electric box so wouldn't be a big deal to install. I know I'd need to change out my electric box because of the inferior breaker design (Federal Pacific) so that would have to also be done.
I'm interested in others opinions here on brands, sizes, and personal experiences and opinions. Thanks!
Here are a few pics.....
