I bought the 15KW Generac. It cost me $2975 at Home Depot complete with circuit box and auto sensing switching.. The killer is the Propane tank. In hindsight, I should have purchased a Propane hot water heater, then I would have been able to rent a propane tank. Because its for a generator they will not rent. So I had to buy a 250 gallon for $1000 then they buried it and hooked it up another $1000. Then they filled it another $500+. Then you have to get the circuit box wired $600-$1200 depending.

Then if you pulled a permit those costs...

In hindsight? I would have purchased a really good portable deisel unit and been done with it.
