  1) Loss of your bedroom and entire side of home during a very stressful outage, assume 7 days per year. 

1)Hotel:  $1,000
2)Dining out:  $800
2) Generac generator damage to your foundation 

  By locating the generator by master bedroom, the foundation is receiving a vibration frequency which can damage the foundation and water pipes under the slab. $ 10,000 to $50,000+

3)  Devaluation of your home due to neighbor’s Generac generator.

  1) Assume an $800k home  - 5%  concession is approx. $40k. 

  2) Longer time to sell your home due to neighbor’s generator being near a decision makers ( mom’s ) master bedroom. 

4) The noise from a 25 KW or larger generator causes health issues for your family.  Cost??

5) Sound mitigation (Minimal effect):  Install a solid block sound barrier wall across fence line – $3,000 per 20 feet wide x 10 fee tall 

  Note: Subject to height and appearance  limitations of HOA, City, County, etc.
