Add This To Your Birthday Wish List: NG Fired Microturbines
Smaller than a refrigerator, more powerful than a locomotive. Okay, okay, so I'm getting a bit carried away.

Microturbines are scaled down versions of industrial gas turbines. As their name suggests, these generating units are very small, and typically have a relatively small electric output. These types of distributed generation systems have the capacity to produce from 25 to 500 kilowatts (kW) of electricity, and are best suited for residential or small scale commercial units.
Advantages to microturbines include a very compact size (about the same size as a refrigerator), a small number of moving parts, light-weight, low-cost, and increased efficiency. Using new waste heat recovery techniques, microturbines can achieve energy efficiencies of up to 80 percent. To learn more about microturbines in distributed generation applications, click here.
BTW, can we remove the (CNG) part of this category to simply read "Energy (NG) Technology?"
Yee-haw!!!!

A 17 KW will run a house that is approx. 2642 sq. ft. They are less than nine thousand. They say Generac is a good one, but the important thing is having a well-trained plumber and electrician and a responsble company.

Rule #1 in the generator business: If it says "Generac", run for your life.
