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?)


I fitted a generator set up for a poster in the rec.motorcycle group
about 6 years ago. He has never used it.

It set my parents up with a inverter at about the same time. They have
never used it.

Gf got a 6 hour power cut the other week. She sent her son off to his
Grandparents and then got into my bed.
