20kw Generator

[NY Tom]

Currently investigating the installation of a ~24kw generator for backup power at work. Was quoted a 24kw air cooled 3600 rpm homeowner unit from Generac. Expensive including installation.

After some further research Generac offers a commercial 1800 rpm water cooled unit at 22kw. Other commercial option was water cooled 25kw at 3600 rpm.

The 24kw homeowner unit is actually only rated to produce 21kw running on Natural Gas.

Figure $5500 for the homeowner and about $11000 for the commercial units only no installation.

Not sure how helpful this is to you.

Just sold my 20kw natural gas generac (0591-0 model) for $1200 on marketplace (obv didnt come with transfer switch or installation) starting to think I sold it too low because it was gone within 15 mins of posting for asking price.

I think you are right. Had I known I would have driven over and got it from you.

But alas, I left FB and for valid reasons.

Understandable some dude messaged me like 5 mins after posting said he would be driving 1 hour to come get it on saturday so marked it pending lol

Not really a good fit for a retired military generator.

One option would be to buy 2 of the MEP1040 10kw generators. They can be run in parallel. A pair of those at auction would run $12-$15K

From the sounds of what I'm reading here I can probably do with just 1. I didn't look at the auctions (YET) but the only, (non auction) 1040 I could find they were asking $15 just for 1...!

I understand getting one from the auction, I got a nice 803a? (The "portable" 3kw unit) from an auction, but it seems like a total crap shoot if you get a good one or not. I wish I knew more about them. Also there is the issue of trying to arrange picking and delivery when it is 500+ miles away...

Shipping is a lot easier than you think. between my broker or all the truck drivers i have used in the past its not really an issue

And moving sets is easy if you know the right folks, and either have access to a commercial dock (where you work, a friends business, etc) or you have a pallet jack or tractor with forks, that you can unload freight with right at your home address.
