The part readings, priced apart by frame
| Part reading | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Stator and rotor | in $50-$2,000 repairs line | $250-$1,500 part row |
| Carburetor | $50-$500 carburetor row | $60-$500 carburetor row |
| Visit overall | $50-$2,000 by part | rows priced apart |
Each reading is one frame's counting of one failed part inside one repair or service visit, and per-part rows are never blended into an installation row.
The part rows, priced apart
| Part row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | in repairs line | in part rows |
| Starter | in repairs line | in part rows |
| Control board and controller | in repairs line | in part rows |
| Transfer switch and contactor | $50-$150 repair split | $50-$400 switch row |
| Voltage regulator | in repairs line | $80 regulator row |
Frame A prints its part range; Frame B prints its part rows beside it, and a row with no line in one frame stands as in that frame, never filled from the other.
The visit lines, priced apart
| Visit line, as published | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled maintenance | Frame A | $171-$396 |
| Engine | Frame A | $50-$2,000 |
| Stator and rotor | Frame B | $250-$1,500 |
| Voltage regulator | Frame B | $80 |
| Transfer switch part alone | Frame A | $200-$400 |
The visit lines count a part or visit reading inside the repair or service visit alone: a new standby unit going in is the installation hub's own field, named apart. The two frames count the same maintenance visit differently -- Frame A reads a scheduled maintenance visit at $171-$396 with a $274 average, while Frame B reads standby maintenance at a $600 average, and the transfer switch stands as a repair-versus-part split in Frame A (repairs at $50-$150, the part alone at $200-$400) against a single $50-$400 row in Frame B. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page here, never averaged.
The totals behind the rows, and the neighbours named apart
Behind the rows: Frame A from a $171-$396 maintenance visit to a $50-$2,000 repairs line, Frame B standby maintenance averaging $600 beside its part rows. The repair ticket against the replacement ticket prices apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the whole-home generator installation hub, its own field as an installation field pricing a new standby unit going in; home battery systems, priced on the backup-generator-vs-battery guide; portable generators, a separate class on their own guides; and whole-unit replacement, a new unit purchase read on the repair-vs-replacement guide under each frame separately.

What does the visit total print at behind the rows, as reported?
Frame A prints scheduled maintenance at $171 to $396 with a $274 average beside its repairs line. Frame B prints standby maintenance averaging $600 in place of one total, its rows priced apart in its own frame.
Is a part row the same purchase as a standby installation or a home battery system?
No. Each row prices one failed part in one repair visit, priced by failed part, off a $250 to $1,500 stator and rotor row in Frame B and a $50 to $150 transfer switch repair split in Frame A. The installation hub, home battery systems, portable generators, and whole-unit replacement sit in their own lanes, named apart.
