We installed an almost exact Generac model whole house generator in 2015. It was my best investment ever. Here on St Simons if you evacuate, you can't get back on the Island for at least 5-6 days, as they clear the roads for traffic. Mathew in 2016, power was out for 6 days, Irma 2017 out for 5 days. We also lose power a couple times a year due to tropical storms. We live in one of the oldest sections of the Island & most electric still comes from power poles. Powers go out for 20 seconds, transfer switch kicks in, the whole house comes on. When they run at full tilt, they can be noisy. You can hear them throughout our neighborhood. I will point your, your pics show a very bad pad installation. These big generators rock & roll when they run for extended periods. & those cinder blocks will settle & move over time. Those connections will be damaged. My pad is 6" of poured concrete over 4" of compressed stone. Ours is natural gas. Don't trust running out of propane for extended usage. They require maintenance. They are basically a small engine (oil, filters, air filters). Good luck
