Abstract :The purpose of this study is to determine how to generate electricity for household needs with onsite natural gas and heat the residence with the released exit gas. In this study the issue of individual electricity generation has been experimentally investigated with a sample application. The need of heating and hot water is met by the conversion of natural gas, LPG and gasoline fuels to electricity by means of an internal combustion motor and an alternator. Full and low load operating systems operated at full load, while 1 kWh of electricity can be produced with natural gas at $0.31, it can be produced at $0.71 with LPG and $1.11 with gasoline. When the system is run with low load 1 kWh electrical energy the costs are $0.34 with natural gas $0.95 with LPG and $1.61 with gasoline.With the waste heat generated with the burning of fuels to heat the residence and obtain hot water, hot water between 38°C and 50°C was obtained
