Rambo,

I had a Honda 3500 (gas powered) installed about 6 weeks ago. Entire setup including "manual" transfer switch and installation was about $2500.00. The electrician that installed the system (close friend)was amazed at the price I was able to purchase the brand new generator for ($1650 generator, $250 transfer switch, $100 for the electric battery powered starter). Seems either the dealer who sold it was "hard up", or I got very lucky.

Anyway, I made my decision for the generator size and type based on some simple equations. Honda provides a chart that outlines the typical wattage required to run most common electrical devices, as well as the peak starting wattage needed.

Basically, I bought 2x the minimum I needed while not breaking the bank. While I won't be able to run everything at once, I'll still have the basics that I need for comfort.
