Our heating season is from Nov-March, with peak heating bills running about $100/month. The idea of using waste heat from the generator to heat the home is appealing. Having power when the neighborhood looses it would be fun too, although I imagine the grid has higher reliability than the equipment I would buy.

Now if only I could go off-sewer. Those blood suckers take almost $40 month regardless of utilization. I once asked to be disconnected since I was living alone at the time and could shower at the gym. It's not possible, because a sewer fee is levied on any home in the service area, and failure to pay the fee results in a lien against the property.
