Since Mr iShoot couldn't recall his price, I thought I would chime in with what we paid, just as a point of reference. $14+K for a 20KW Generac, including all permits, installation, inspection, etc. Note that this was at our primary home in CT when we lived there, (everything is more expensive in CT!), and, it was about 4+ years ago.

We had the automatic fail-over switch and the 500 gal tank of propane, which is a great set-up. The town we lived in in CT lost power regularly, and for days at a time. We were on well and septic, so without the generator, things got really gross really fast. It is not a trivial expense, but if you have the dough and lose power often, I would highly recommend it.
