Ours is about 25% smaller than your brother in law's, but it is a

Did Stacey sell it to you? (my niece) ;-)




She is mostly commercial but you are in her territory.






I bought the generator from Home Despot and hired the electrical

contractor separately. Company was a union contractor somewhere on the

other side of Annapolis towards Baltimore. His was the middle bid and he

had really good local references, including some commmercial installs.



We have a big generator contractor up the road, but it doesn't like to

deal with homeowners, and its prices reflect that. They're sky high, and

they subcontract out the work. The electrician who showed up to estimate

said if I had called first, the bid would have been about $3000 less.



The gas install is handled separate from the electric around here. My

local propane dealer gave me by far the best price for all the plumbing

work. I paid about $720 and that included the permits, digging a 24"

deep trench 110 feet or so, the wrapped copper piping, the fittings and

valves, connections, test runs, standing around while the inspector

signed off, et cetera, and a hefty discount on the refill of our

500-gallon tank. I already owned the tank. The next lowest bid

was...$2100. And the local guys were union plumbers. The $2100 guy was

not.


NO ONE GIVES A ****, ****
