I figure that CA is probably the worst state to do this stuff so if the company gets everything okay here then all the other states will be a breeze.
There are some places where the home owner can do this stuff on their own but not here.

The difference between City vs. County installs here can be amazing.
In the county, we can most of the electrical work and all of the plumbing work on a generator. We can't do the final tie in utility, so a licensed electrician does that. We also pay them do an inspection.
In the City, a licensed electrician has to do it all and a licensed plumber has to do the gas line. Permits and inspections are required for virtually everything. The costs are much much higher.
