@SeaMaiden wrote:@goldensrbest It depends on which model you choose....we chose the 9kw and it cost us $13,000 for installation and set up. The two 120 gallon propane tanks installed and filled cost us another $3,000. So approx total for everything was about $17,000 with 10% Washington state sales tax.
We just had our installed about about two weeks ago.
Oh my ,i would had fainted ,at that price!!

Ours is a 20Kw, and cost us $17,000 total by the time we poured the concrete pad, and got our propane tank set and filled.
We still think it was a good investment.

@Puppy Lips Makes all the difference in the world when you have a well. No toilet flushing. No shower. No water at all. Since ours goes out a lot it makes sense. What would we do without a toilet for a good amount of time?
@proudlyfromNJ Actually, we have a well too. But we have a built in swimming pool as well. I used the water from the pool to flush the toliet and went swimming to rinse off. I can see where it would be a problem to have a well and no source of water though.

We want to have one of those installed using our natural gas line.
I figured they would cost a lot more.
We have already been without power during 2 ice storms.
At least we will have power when it goes out.

@Puppy Lips No pool here. But how does that work in the winter? That’s when we have most of our outages. Tons of huge trees here with limbs that go down and take out the wires. Hope this winter isn’t bad.

We lost power last year over Thanksgiving weekend for 5 days. We had a terrible ice storm and it knocked the power out.
I wasn't sure if it could handle being on for 5 days straight, buy the service guy said that's what it's intended to do. He came out and checked it. It did need to be serviced, but it was just a matter of changing the oil.

@Nightowlz We had an ice storm about 20 years ago. It was on Christmas Eve! No power for 2 weeks and it was cold. We fed the fireplace for a few days then found a hotel. I lost most of my tropical fish. Awful!
As soon as gas came to our area we installed a generator. It saw us through many hurricanes and would pull heat and air conditioning.
It wore out so I put another in several years ago, am alone and if it snows can't get out. I have to have one!
Sometimes power goes out and I'm not even aware of it, you will LOVE one!
