Natural gas generators can sometimes be more expensive to purchase than other types of home generators. This initial cost can be quickly regained, however, by the efficiency of the generator. Natural gas generators require very little maintenance and just need a simple self-test each week and some oil when necessary. The cost of natural gas in many areas is also significantly less than other types of fuel. Heavily used natural gas generators might require yearly maintenance at most.
What else can I help you with?
Where can I purchase a natural gas generator?
You can purchase a natural gas generator at Amazon.com. Also, there are available natural gas generators at your local hardware store. These would help you during power outages.
How safe are natural gas generators?
Generally, if one has them properly installed, carefully follows instructions, and cares for the generators properly, they are rather safe and reliable.
How do natural gas generate electricity?
Natural gas can be run through an internal combustion engine which can turn a generator. There is a public pool near where I live that uses generators like this to save money on electricity. Natural gas can also be used to power jet turbines that turn generators and can even be used in a fuel cell, although I don't think that natural gas fuel cells are common.
How can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
Can natural gas be used to generate electricity?

Stand By Generators For Home Use Use Various Types Of Fuel?
Stand by generators for home use natural gas, propane or unleaded gasoline. Natural gas generators can be hooked up to your gas line to ensure you don't run out of fuel. Propane tanks and unleaded gasoline can be purchased at most gas stations. If you chose to use unleaded gas, you will need to make sure you have enough gas cans to purchase a few days of fuel to have on hand.
What is the technical principle of a natural gas generator system?
The principal of a natural gas generator system is to use hydrocarbon gases that occur naturally underground, such as methane, as fuel in a generator to produce energy for electrical devices. One can buy such generators from 'Electric Generators Direct'.
Where can I buy a natural gas generator for a home?
Yes, indeed, during stormy season a home generator is absolutely necessary. different kinds of generators are available, they mainly differ in the fuel with which they are driven. Natural gas driven generator is best amongst them. You can find more information on the gas driven generators at Amazon as well as in generator guide websites.
Are electric power generators more beneficial than natural gas generators?
It really all depends on who you ask. There have been many discussions on it. But from my experience electric power generators are more beneficial because electricity generators are often powered by reciprocating engines burning diesel that can last longer.
Can you use natural gas for electric power production?
Yes. Natural gas is used all the time for the production of electricity. Typically, natural gas power plants are small, on-demand plants which are used during periods of peak demand. These power plants are called 'peaker plants'. Natural gas is also used by most standby generators.
What is one use for natural gas?
There are several uses for Natural Gas: >> Cooking (with a gas stove) >> Heating (with a gas furnace) >> Many electric power companies have gas powered electric generators which they put in service during periods of peak demand for electricity.. >> Some cars a now equipped motors that burn natural gas. >> Etc, etc, etc.
What are the different ways to produce electricity at home?
There are several ways to produce electricity at home, including solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric generators, and backup generators powered by gasoline or natural gas.
