Talk with JohnnyO. He has some industrial grade generators with ultra low hours, low rpm running, etc. They put the Home Depot ones to shame and probably not that much more.

After poking around on the www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com site I came across the $1959.00 7kW LP & Natural gas genset delivered, tax included, with transfer switch and $40 check discount. I'm inclined to bite off on that deal if I knew for certain all my APC's (500VA and greater) would be happy with it. <grin> Ralph, Kudos on a great score at Home Depot! Gotta love a motivated "big box" manager when in their eyes they have an albatross SKU.

Work fine. Every one I have ever seen came with the transfer switch. Best deal was a 12Kw I got that was brand new, but the transfer switch and the top of the generator were slightly dented. Seems like I gave $1500.00 for it. HD said it was 400.00 below cost. I have been told by the HD folks that unless you have it installed by their folks, the warranty is void, though. I am not sure how true that is. I don't think they (HD) sell them without installation. Ralph -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David E.

Not quite. I was going on the price posted with the OP's link, which had a displayed price of about $3800 (at the time I looked at it, at least). That unit can run on either propane or natural gas, out of the box (as it were). We paid about $3000 plus sales tax and delivery, which made it around $3200, including the transfer switch and sundry bits. I was surprised to find a good price on a generator at Lowe's, but then I always thought of Lowe's as more of a "home improvement" store, and didn't expect them to carry things this big. (Maybe I'm just naive or something, dunno.)
