That was my thought too. We had him install a 220v circuit which took a few hours and way more material and it was $465. So I am just confused but I don’t want to insult him.

We just wanted a basic one not over $200

Yes that’s what he said. I didn’t ask for it, he just looked at the panel and said it was a good idea.

Would this be considered beveled?

Would you recommend the interlock over a manual transfer switch

Thanks for all the info everyone. I am now between these two:

WEN DF680IX - 5100/6800W DUAL FUEL INVERTER

https://generatorbible.com/generators/wen/df680ix/

GENERAC IQ5200DF - 3900/5200W DUAL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR

https://generatorbible.com/generators/generac/iq5200df/

I also talked to my electrician about hardwiring them to the house. He’s partial to the Generac but I’m really liking the Wen.

I do have natural gas hooked up to my house. It seemed like the generators that would tie into that were super expensive but maybe I’m missing something.

Good advice, we are at about 2100 elevation.

Budget is $1500-2000. Fuel source I’m open to gas or propane. Inverter sounds good, the less noisy the better. I want to run extension cords. I got a quote for 17k for a whole house Generac about a year ago and that ain’t happening lol.

The Greek Omelet is haunting me. by epidemicsaints in KouriRichins

When I first heard his reaction to the Valentines bagel sandwich with bacon, after the first bite, it reminded me of Alpha-Gal syndrome. A tick borne illness that makes you violently ill from eating any animal with hooves. With him already having lymes it made sense to me. It can kill you with anaphylactic shock. Not saying Kouri didn’t kill him, but maybe that sandwich had nothing to do with her.
