The Powerful Benefits of Natural Gas Generators
Because natural gas generators are connected to utility pipelines, they offer unmatched dependability. Whether you’re interested in powering a home or commercial building, there’s a model built for you—and Emerald Bay Plumbing can set it up for long-term performance.
Reliable Fuel Source
Natural gas lines provide continuous and readily available emergency power during extended outages, even when gasoline or diesel supplies might be disrupted.
Clean Burning
Compared to gasoline or diesel, natural gas produces fewer emissions and leaves fewer residues, reducing wear on engine components and extending the unit’s lifespan.
No Refueling Required
There’s no need to store fuel or worry about running out during extended power outages. This also reduces the risk of fire or explosion that comes with storing gasoline.
Quiet Operation
Natural gas generators are typically quieter than diesel models, making them suitable for residential use or noise-sensitive environments.
Versatile Applications
Gas generators are available in a wide range of sizes and capacities, making them suitable for small homes, large commercial facilities, and even industrial plants.
Long-Term Value
The lower operating costs, reduced maintenance, and longevity make natural gas generators a cost-effective investment over time.

In theory, any natural gas generator can run indefinitely, so long as the municipal gas supply and the gas line running to your system are functioning properly. So long as your property is receiving gas, you should be able to run your generator.
That said, it’s important to keep up with your manufacturer’s required maintenance both before an outage and during extended periods of use to guarantee continuous performance. Contact Emerald Bay Plumbing for help repairing a natural gas generator!

While you’ll find online DIYers claiming that propane generators can be converted to run on natural gas, we do not recommend trying this. These two fuel sources have different combustion processes, and plenty of things can go wrong in a conversion attempt. This could void your warranty, render your unit inoperable, or cause potential safety issues.
Unless your generator is specifically designed to handle multiple fuel types (including natural gas), the safest approach is to upgrade to a natural gas system. Contact Emerald Bay Plumbing for a free, no-obligation quote on the installation!
