Are Gas boiler C.H. pumps, timer and control electronics gas powered?

You can power those from a small generator.

So all houses with a gas boiler have a small generator?

Mine does and a UPS but possibly not the norm for a non DIY person to
take sensible precautions against inconvenience.


Just how many times have these wonderful arrangements had a chance
to earn their keep? (And for what durations?)

We had 7 days without power in late autumn 1987 and a 6 month old baby
at the time. A borrowed genny was a lifesaver then. Since then, I've
taken precautions!
