We've used the Guardians (Generac) from Home Depot. 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.)
