Pricing?
From Slickcraft:
"Maybe $2.5 K for a portable with an electrician doing the wiring.
Maybe about $12K for a whole house automatic installed including the ugly torpedo propane tank."
That seems way high to me, so I hope MAP will post her findings. A 9KW Generac or Kohler at Lowe's is $2-3000. I dug my own trenches and poured ma own slab, about 50 feet from the house. The gas company owns the propane tank (Suburban Propane), so no cost to me. Cost for electric transfer panel would be the same whether portable or standby.
As noted above, call Eversource and find out what the outage history is for this specific neighborhood before spending money.
