Thanks in advance.

If you were as handy as some of the folks who have responded it might make sense for you to do your own service or hire someone you know would do the job correctly at a cheaper price. The problem is you are not handy (me neither). Therefore, I'd recommend you stick with the dealer and in doing so are certain your machine is ready to purr when needed. It is relatively short money compared to the purchase/install investment. Finally, make sure you have extra oil handy in case you run into a prolonged power outage, make sure you know how to check the oil, refill the oil, power the unit off and on, etc. Good luck.
