Fuel

Natural gas, or a tank in the yard.

If your street has natural gas, that’s usually the answer. If it doesn’t, a propane tank works well, as long as it’s sized for how long you want to run.

The choice.

Natural gas

Runs as long as the gas does

No tank, no refills. We check your meter and service line can supply the generator and your other gas appliances at once.

Propane

Runs as long as the tank

A 500-gallon tank is common. Fill it before June and top it off when a storm is forecast.

Either way

Separate gas permit

Gas piping is installed and permitted by a licensed gas contractor. We coordinate it.
