The 25KW cost me about $10,000. It runs on propane. I have 2 - 1000 gallon propane tanks buried in the ground. My house is 7000 sq. ft and on the side of a hill with a long driveway. My fear was that if the power lines were damaged, it would take the power company weeks to fix them. Therefore, I told the generator company I wanted a system that could run the entire house just as a way to prepare for the worst. Last weekend the generator ran for 36+ hours straight and it didn't even put a dent in the propane levels. Best investment I ever made.
