It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Linville homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
Installed cost varies with generator size, distance from the panel and fuel source. We provide a complete quote covering the electrical installation, transfer switch and permits. Call (888) 592-6466.
