My house has a EU7000 Honda which was 6 grand. Then the manual transfer switch that I installed was around 1200.00. You can do the same thing with the Lightening for the 1200, and it will put out more power than my 7000 as it puts out 9000,and run your house for 3 days.Or just run extension cords from the Lightning to do the same thing without spending a dime other than the cords.. (I have everything except my hot water tank and dryer ran off the Honda.
