yep! and it is a beauty and works very well, but with the price of gas it is more expensive to produce energy this way than the grid.....one other benefit from it was it also did your hot water.

many of these units are in use right now all over the place but mainly in larger manufacturing sectors.

this mob (as well as others) are looking very promising http://www.mtt-eu.com but a home, reliable unit is still in the pipeline, won't be long they reckon, along with quite a few others.
