Sounds about right.


Yup and the idea that it would cost $10,000 to install it is
ludicrous.


When we put our pool in back in 2007 the electrical contractor suggested
putting in a generator (propane fueled) of about the same
Kw as Harry's system. We ran the electrical wiring for it since we were
digging trenches for the pool/cabana wiring and manifolding but we
decided to hold off on putting in the generator. His quote for
everything (generator, auto switching system, wiring and propane hookup)
was in the $8K to $9K range, so $10K or so today doesn't sound ludicrous
to me.
