This was a flyer that I picked up from our local Costco and called them. The 27 kw was quoted at $21,000 installed and the 32 kw was $23,000 installed, but this is before the survey. It was an estimate, but wasn't materially different for me if it was slightly higher or lower once they look at it.

I had the survey for my 200A service that powers my home and pole barn and after working the numbers recommended a Generac 24kw natural gas unit installed for just under $10k, they included 7 years warranty and 0% financing.

The only issue is the wait time which is 8 months,,,,



How long ago was this? There seems to be a huge jump in price between the 24 kw and the 27 kw from what I am seeing online between the Guardian and Protector series.
