Default Church without power

Alternately, what *is* your heat and is it possible to power it up from
a portable generator?


CY: Natural gas. Two zones have huge 460/3 motors, five are 230/1
volt/phase motors. Might be able to borrow a 230 volt generator, and
wire in. I don't personally have any thing that does 230/1.


Your best bet, safest and simplest may well be to rent an industrial
silenced diesel genset that can provide normal power for the heating
systems, can be connected at one service entrance point and having a big
fuel tank under the trailer mounted generator can be started up and
mostly ignored until it's time to shut it down, fill the tank and return
it.
