Hi
Where I have moved to it seems that the mains is off for 20+ hours at a time (often), I am going to take this up with the REC but in the meantime I need to buy a generator.
I think about £ 80 seems a good price for a petrol one with 650 watts output, I want to run the central heating the fridge and a couple of table lamps with energy saving bulbs - the only thing I am unsure of is the likely consumption of the oil heating, does anyone have any estimates at all?
Thanks in advance, also comments as to if I would be better off getting a diesel generator instead and could I run it on the heating diesel, of course I know I can legally with regards to tax but is it wise, has anyone else done it?
