| How it kicks in | Manual. Start the generator and plug in, about 5 minutes | Automatic, no action needed |
| Permit and ESA | We file it and handle the install for you | ESA permit, gas permit, and inspection |
| Do you need to be home? | Yes | No |
| Maintenance | Test it yourself twice a year | Annual professional service, about $200 to $400 |
| Best for | Occasional outages, value, owners fine with a quick setup | Frequent outages, medical needs, being away during outages |
