I’ll buy the pass for 200 homeimpbydl@gmail.com

Those are BS contracts the generator dealers are scalping people on. Generac doesn’t have that long of a warranty so they basically are baiting you into an insurance policy.

Briggs comes with a 7 year warranty or you can buy a 10 year warranty unit. The only maintenance required is annual or 100 hours on either unit.

Just looking at product pricing, and guessing labor and switch size a 30kW liquid cooled installed would be in the neighborhood of 20-25k, going larger the cost starts to jump. The difference in unit price to go to a 35kW is 4K

I could do a 26w with soft starts and load shedding, if needed, around 18k again depending on switch size and other variables

The generator is going to require a specified inches of water column. Easiest thing to do is install the line to the correct size which if it’s a short run either 3/4 or 1 inch will be fine, a test port should be included in the install and test it with a manometer

He wants 450

Most contractors will take advantage of a client on items like this if the client doesn’t know better.

F-150 xlt mid package….if you want leather buy the lariat takeoffs off of eBay

Eta: get the 3.5 ecoboost

That’s what the washers are for…

To install, they either have to go to the line wires coming in, which requires power cut at the disconnect, which most homes don’t have so would require a meter pull or they require going to the spot nearest the main, which is usually occupied by the highest amp breakers like the ac and range which require relocating, and can’t be spliced with wire nuts to relocate. That’s why they charge so much. I hold an electrical contractors license and just had to install one when I put in my generator. I tapped the line wires going to the main breaker.
