I thought it was high


-because:
Me and him both were pricing 18-20 kw units about 4 years ago installed by our local natural gas utility for $5500-6000.

His $9,000 guy was a private outfit as our utility no longer offers the generator packages.



9k$ For that size gen set with complete, turn key installation sounds about right for our area.


My old friend had to wait about 6 months for his turn at getting his install executed. The little company doing it is blown the fugg away with business and can charge a bit more, demand is so high.
Makes sense too after Texas this winter. The grid is not as dependable and underbuilt.


6-8 month waiting list here.

The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.

What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
