Definatly talk with a local electrician or EE with background in this area. Not sure about Florida, but in Ca. that model wouldnt pass the Db levels for residential use without a special barriar. Permits may also be a problem since it is not considered portable. Local codes and inspectors will dictate the ease or diffulculty of doing this.
Also the generator itself is the cheapest part of the equation if not planned for properly.
Think of what you truely would want to able to have powered and for what duration in case of an emergency. Whole house is overkill in an emergency outage.
Again, a reputable EC can help you with all this.
