I bought a house in the Littleton area almost exactly a year ago, it already had a less than 2 year old 14kw Generac installed. Had it serviced once just to stay on top of maintenance, cost a little over $200. This past winter we lost power a couple times at least and it worked flawlessly except one time it didn't shut off when the power came back on. There's a company in town that services them and they are great, I think they came out and fixed it either same day or if not it was within 24 hours, don't completely remember. I believe it was just a small fuse they had to replace. It burned through a lot of propane in that time, next time they filled up it was over $300 to top off the tank which is higher than normal. Never really looked into the longevity or reviews on them as it came with the house and from what I know probably cost $5kish to have one bought and installed, from what I understand. However from what others have said, I didn't know how many issues they can have, I'll keep that in mind as it gets older and do a little more homework on them myself.

Sounds like the perfect day Trapp.  I want to do something similar with the kids soon.

 Good luck Brad
