I have a 14Kw Generac whole house standby generator. It was hit by a fork truck and has some scratches/dents on it. In no way will this impede on it’s function.
You will need an automatic transfer switch to make this work and I have a whole array of those in different sizes and styles to suit your needs. I will sell one of those at distributor cost +5% (basically giving it away) because you took my scratched unit. I will deliver nearly anywhere in western new york with a lift gate truck.
Actually most home owners opt for the slightly larger 16Kw, I have seen some installs on larger homes using dual 16Kw. The standard size for a 1500-2000sqft home is often a 7kw, but some people like to have EVERYTHING work when the power goes out.
PICTURES:
Ignore the black dots in them as you will see they are consistent in all images since it is a defect in the camera on my phone.
Right click, view image for higher res images.
Front is good:
Back is good, look at the bottom left corner and then the next pic for a clearer view of damage
Right Side has a crack in the plastic base with two dents in the metal case.
The damage is really minor, but the customer requested that we get him a new undamaged unit so I did and am now sitting on this one. Hence selling it for cheap.

At full load it consumes 139 cu. ft/hr of Natural Gas. I am not sure of gas costs to do the math at the moment.
I had a hard time getting up to 7000w even with the air conditioning option.lol I guess if you turn on everything electrical in your house at one time you will need a big generator.
