do I have to fill unit up with natural gas?I am women alone looking for something if I lose electricity. Can I just stand it on floor and turn on?

I have mine hung on the wall for safety. You can buy legs for it to stand it on the floor. You have to connect it to a Natural Gas Line under your house or on the outside of your house. You will need a handyman or professional gas man to do that is you are not familiar with installing natural gas lines.

It needs a gas line ran to the heater for a full time supply of nat. gas. Not a simple task.

It must be connected to a natural gas line (pipe). If you don't have natural gas where you live, this unit is not for you. If you do have natural gas, it does operate without electricity so is good if you lose electricity.

I have had the bed plugged in for just under two months, I have only heard it come on one time. It would only need to use electricity if it is loosing air and needs to adjust the pressure. You could always leave it unplugged until you noticed a difference in firmness to make sure you do not waste electricity.

I believe you can use electricity. I use mine on a small gas burner on my island for a hot pot. I absolutely love it!

You might try the Tripp Lite. The gas dryer only needs a surge protector you can get locally.

That's going to be directly related to the load your device is going to pull. make sure that you have enough capacity at the breaker and the GF I outlet

Forget @ using any of these units for heat. Look up an amp meter chart etc., compare what you heater will draw and divide the 1000 W and you will see the heater won't run for half an hour...a hair dryer will kill it quickly. This is strictly for lights, etc. Save it for medical equipment etc. in extended outages... maybe an occasional microwave use , etc. Even a computer charge will run it down. Be Careful how you use it. Also you can save a lot of power by using only lamps with the new twisted looking lamp bulbs .. Thet use @ 1/3 the power. Save the power for a quick sump pump need nothing continuous except lights. For heat, look into a small wall natural gas heater ( if you have gas heat ) @ $300. will heat 1000 sq feet quite well. Get a warm coat and blankets if the power may be out for days or you will be w/o lights too. Otherwise geta generator..note most condos won't allow them

Natural gas would come from a line you have in your house from the utility company.and if you don't have a line in the house,you would have to use a propane heater and the tank is supplied by the propane company.

This is Generac's basic automatic standby system and also you it's output depends on what fuel type you'll be using (7kw - LP, 6kw - NG). It should be sufficient enough to run your furnace (provided it's oil or gas fired), your fridge, your well pump, a microwave, and some lighting/receptacle circuits. This is all we would typically load this unit. No split system A/C, electric range, dryer, wall ovens, electric heat or similar large demanding loads should be put on this unit. Most whole home applications require 14kw and up (depending on load calculations and Generac's recommendations).

the unit is quite noisy. I plan to shut it off at night if the power goes off at night, but then, there is nothing I need to power at night so why waste the fuel? The unit is 5' away from the house.

Mine came with a hook up for propane tank. I can't say if you can use natural gas or not.

This was bought a gift for my son in Kuwait. I was there to help him to assemble. The unit was setup for propane. If you order this unit, it has to specify natural gas.

This is propane (L.P.) Only. Can not be converted to Natural Gas. Have to get one set for Natural Gas and then convert the orffices for natural gas. Look for a conversion kit get made for your unit. It may not be able to convert it.

The Particular unit I am using is Model RL94i (REU-VC2837FFUD-US) for use with Natural Gas ONLY.This translates on the manuals to RL94i_VC2837FFUD-US. I hope this helps you.

I use premium fuel. it helps. Don't pull too hard or you will be replacing the cord. I had to replace my cord when mine didn't start and I pulled the cord out of the unit. I have the same problem. I've complained to Earthquake but they didn't seem to care.
