I think our unit itself was around $3K-ish.
This is part of what senses when the power goes out and switches it over to the generator. Pic of electrical box:
Edit: We found ours through the electrician that wired it all up. He does like 5 a year and gets a discount on the parts and he passed it on to us. Be sure to ask electrician friends!

thanks for the info, madwi.
yah, my house was not designed for such generator and requires village ordinace folks (and HOA) to approve before i can move forward. and that was where we kinda bottlenecked and stopped.
i sent your link to my wife and will see wat needs to be done. if its a huge pita to get this installed i'll probably end up with a honda generator, but if not, i'd prefer to install these natural gas ones.
