“...10K watt generator; 1000 gal propane tank; separate circuit...”
-
What is a fair budget price for such an undertaking?

Also, would you disclose the make, type, and model of the gen?

Thanks

It’s around $4250 including the storage tank and thousand gallons of propane at $2/gal. Hubs found the gennie for half off (originally $2200, and it uses both gasoline and propane for flexibility) and our electrician is very reasonable.

If we have a miracle and Ebola doesn’t wreak havoc, I have a backup power system for ice storms and the like. The last ice storm knocked out our electricity for 8 miserable days. And if Ebola does cause widespread mayhem (which I think is going to happen) we’re good to go too. I think it’s a good investment.
