If you’re serious about getting a whole house generator, if you sign the contract today, you might have to wait until 2022 to have the whole house electric generator installed. We ordered our whole house generator in January, a month after moving to Florida, and we’re still waiting. Maybe another month or two before we have the generator installed. The total cost is about $13K. If we didn’t have natural gas service, it would be a few thousand dollars more for the buried propane tank.

I think fireplaces in Florida are a total waste of money! We were surprised how many fireplaces we saw in Florida homes when we were house hunting. We had natural gas fireplaces in Minnesota in two different homes. We used the fireplace maybe 10 times after first moving in the house, then never again. To us, fireplaces are highly overrated. I guess we are just not fireplace people.

We aren’t beach people eithet. Once a month or every other month is enough. After a few hours, we’re tired of the beach. Some people are beach people and hang out at the beach at least 8 hours a day, almost every day.
