Bigger bump in the road. The cost to run NG inside the house and a water heater is nuts. I am going to get a couple more estimates before telling the utility to keep their gas and going to Plan B. I have a nice Kubota 38hp tractor pre Tier4 emissions that doesn't get used much so I will just get a PTO generator.
A 15KW unit will power everything I want along with a manual transfer switch is less than 1/2 the cost of a water heater.
