Generator Update
As you may recall from the past two issues, we were converting our gasoline-powered generator to run on natural gas, which we use for heat, cooking and hot water. During Super Storm Sandy, many who had backup generators couldn't find gasoline to keep them running. We believe we've solved the problem with our conversion. It was a three-stage process:
- An assessment by a licensed plumber to make sure conversion was feasible
- Converting the generator
- Connecting the generator to the electrical system
The total cost was $1,500. We think it's a relative bargain because we should have the fuel to maintain our power and everything that runs from it - including our ability to serve our customers.

Here's how to get off to a running start.
