Yeah, we probably got carried away. Briggs came out with a 26 kW while our 20 was on order and it wasn’t much to go bigger. We needed fewer “load shed modules” with the larger generator, so we saved a bundle there. Our utility is going “green” so I figure that power will become increasingly unreliable. This way I can run the AC during upcoming summer outages. I plan to stick a 7.5 kW electric heater in the garage, but we will probably shed that load if the power goes out and the generator goes on.

I wanted to do this once and one time only. I also poured a 9” thick concrete slab that sticks about 4” underground and 5” above. So it’s got a SOLID base, too. Plus I ran the gas and electric lines underground as well.
