It's cheaper if you build the job yourself than call a company to do it all turn key. It wasn't hard either.
Size the Genny you need and buy it, then get your fuel installed and contact an electrician.
Transfer switch and generator install were about $800.
Hard to run your tank when you have to take your truck to work for longer outages. The outages that last for hours or even a single day are no big deal. The one that got me serious was an ice storm and we were out for 13 days... I had a Porter Cable Pro with a Honda engine that the thing got gas three times a day and did not shut down except to change the oil once. I save my tanks, a while bunch of meat, everybody was warm and the sump pump had power to keep my basement dry instead of filling up with six inches of melting water like my neighbors.
A truck will use more gas than a generator, but you can go every so often and turn it off and on... but this sucks to do overnight.

My last power outage was 4 days.
With my generator ( wired gentran) my tanks had heat, flow and lights.
My house had 3/4's power, which included my hot water heater and fridge, and freezer and heat.
