truckin Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd like to get some prices on Natural Gas Home Generators and install prices. Does anyone deal in these or can refer a company or contractor for an install? Also does anyone have any experience with these units? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 My folks have one out in Delaware. They're pretty quiet and work great from what I know. Their unit ran them somewhat close to the $8K range, but it powers the entire house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Why not diesel? More likely to function in a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Why not diesel? More likely to function in a disaster. natural gas ties into your gas line.. no need to fill. the fiances parents house just got one it cost around 8k for it. automatically turns on when the power shuts off and runs the whole house. you wouldnt even know the power went off except the 45 second delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Couldn't imagine living without one. I think there is less than 4k in the unit at my house but it was found under a great deal. Where do you live. We might be able to help with install depending on our schedule coming into furnace season now and where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Lowes has one on their shelves. Dunno how big it is, but they have a tag on it that says $1500 installation.... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Why not diesel? More likely to function in a disaster. Don't want the hassle of diesel and it's noisey and dirty. Plus i have NG already. Couldn't imagine living without one. I think there is less than 4k in the unit at my house but it was found under a great deal. Where do you live. We might be able to help with install depending on our schedule coming into furnace season now and where you live. I'm between Baltimore and Lancaster. I don't really need it to power the entire house, mainly want to keep my heat, well and sump pump running, along with some lights. Just really need someone who can give me some expert advice on a recommended unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I can talk to the boss man about it if you want. We don't normally go that far away just because it can be a PITA and we have lots of work up this way but I can see what he thinks and what prices might be like to give you an idea.
