That’s why I mentioned the butane/propane, as an alternative.
We have a family place, in the hill country, that does not have anything NG....all electric or wood burning (fireplace and stove).
We could get a Generac whole house/stand by, that runs on propane, if we were there, more often. Several propane tank refillers in the area.
That’s why I mentioned that I haven’t needed a generator once in 14 years. I just can’t imagine having an ugly propane tank, which has to be in filling range of the supply truck, in my yard, just for an unused generator. We’re all electric, have a wood burning fireplace, and more firewood than we could possibly ever burn.
Propane is great for power outage ride-out.
Propane generator, furnace, stove, water heater, dryer, fireplace, outside bbq. Only need electrical for fridge, sump, well, lighting, washer.
Keep the pig full.
