it was installed by previous owner but for plumbing and electrical he paid about $1500 to fully install and it was a legit setup. I bought the generator at Costco for about a grand (mid grade).

in any flood our propane tanks will be flipped and floating, so we cant really use nat gas in those events; storing 50 gallons of diesel is easier than 50 gallons of propane/nat gas
