re: Home Generators and Natural Gas

the cost of a whole home generator plus installation is around $10,000, then add on the hundred plus per day to run. unless you have "frick you" money, i would take that $10,000 and invest it, and whenever you feel like you will have to use that generator, pull from your $10,000 that you invested and go on a trip somewhere. or use the money to buy a camper and get a smaller generator to run the camper and stay in it for a few days til your power comes back on. you will get way more out of a camper than you will that generator.

It does not cost us $100+ per day or run at all. In fact I don’t even notice a difference on the Entergy bill because we aren’t using any electric power during the time the generator is running.

not even close to $100 per day. Westlake where i am right now has the highest NG prices in the state and higher than NYC. we ran our all last september and bill was only like $1600 for the month.
as far as having enough gas....plenty coming in but you need to get with atmos and have them verify the regulator is sized for the unit you want to install to provide correct pressure.

Under $30 per day for my 22kW standby gen. I’ll take that. My electric bill is about $8. So for about $20 per day net, my gen keeps me up and running in full. Well worth it.

That is reasonable

Crap, if it's costing you $100 per day to run, you don't have a generator, you have a major gas leak. $20-$40 Per day is the typical estimated cost

Cost to run is big $$$$ just got the Atmos bill
