Here's my question, Does 4500 seem high for the installation portion? There isn't any digging etc involved.

While searching the forums here, I came across this

At the very least I want something to plug a generator into to power parts of my house in the event of an outage.


They only cost $650 to $800 depending on what options you choose. Buy direct from Generlink or from your power company. Took a few months to arrive. They didn't charge my card till it shipped. It was installed by the power company for $100. It's a great setup. Power whatever you choose by flipping breakers on. Uses a 220v 30A L-14 connection to the generator. Options include surge protection and Bluetooth cell phone connection to let you know when the power comes back on. Includes a cord.
