A smaller 3,250-watt portable model might set you back about $300 to $400, while a 10,000-watt model might go for about $1,200. If you want the whole shebang -- the whole house generator -- a 20,000-watt model will cost you about $5,000 at Home Depot. Still other generators go for as much as $10,000. Installation, of course, can also be costly. For a look at how to install your own whole house generator, check out this video.
An engine-powered generator is an easy way to supply your house with emergency power. They are relatively inexpensive (typical price for a 5,000-watt generator ranges between $600 and $1,200), produce clean, 120- or 240-volt sine-wave power, and consume only about a gallon of gas every two hours or so (at 1,000-watt output).
