It not only cost right much for the install but it uses 40 gallons a day when running or there about. But when I told DW how much propane it cost to run she replied that it was worth every penny. The power was out five days and it was hot. We have a heat pump that is on year round. I’m installing gas logs plus a tankless hot water heater, I should save some money there. I wish I could find a five hundred gallon tank for sale, the LP is cheaper if you own your own tank. The generator I’m installing is a Generac 22kw, $8500.00. Not cheap but I have to hire as I’m no electrician. Plus if the unit has a problem they will fix it

Make sure you disconnect your house MAIN Breaker so you don't feed back on the Main line, you could electrocute a worker down the line.

We were without power for 2.5 days, just moved the cold stuff that we could to the frige/freezer in the camper and ran it off propane.. Staye din the house, used the gas fireplace to stay warm.. no bothers. It was nice not having all the stuff going on in the house for a few days!
