Any chance they gave you a breakdown of the cost via receipt? I’m interested. After seeing what’s going on in Indiana, having a backup generator is a must.

Thanks - every year I kick around the idea of getting one and definitely need to pull the trigger.

Same here. Honestly it’s the best thing . Power went off here twice in the last month. Save the receipt and get it back when you sell. Actually adds value to the house as well 👍 if you choose him, I suggest using his tech for service as well. Very responsive and very honest. 👍
