Like an A/C heat pump it needs a concrete or composite concrete pad to sit on. You will likely need an electrician to connect it to your house and you may need to coordinate with your electric company for certain aspects of the installation like the auto transfer. Unless you have natural gas and get the conversion (I think a conversion is possible) you will also need a large propane tank installed (capacity of 100 to 250 gallons) by a propane company and coordinate with them for filling when needed/ahead of storms, etc. The tank is pretty big and needs to be within so many feet of the generator. These require annual maintenance that you may be able to do yourself or it's around $100 to $150 to have Generac do it. The 10 year warranty seems nice but 10 years of annual maintenance would be better. Finally these generators are big and heavy. I don't think you will be able to move it in place with a dolly.
I had a quote for purchase and install from a Generac dealer and installation was 30% or more of the quote. I never went through with it because installation seemed to be where they were gouging. The coordination with your power company should be free or minimal. Obviously electricians vary by area. I think the dealer had me coordinate with the propane company for install of the tank. I know Lowes sells Generacs. I would be interested in how much they charge for installation.
At the time generators we're on backorder for 6 months or more. Sounds like they've gotten ahead of the supply issues now.

With a relatively small 110V/3500W inverter generator, I can run everything but my drier and central unit. My hot water heater is gas fired, so it doesn't use much electric. I store about 25 gallons of fuel. I purchased an inverter A/C. It easily runs off the generator.
I probably have less than $1800 in the everything. It isn't as handy as a whole house generator, but it's cheaper, and I am still young enough to set it up.

A more cost effective option would be to buy a portable generator and have an electrician install a transfer switch or interlock kit so you can plug your generator into your house's main breaker and use seamlessly without running extension cords.
The natural gas service line running to my meter, the meter and the meter pressure all needed to be upgraded in my case.
