1. A system for providing heat and electricity for a building, comprising an internal combustion engine driving the input shaft of an electric generator, wherein said exhaust manifold of said engine is in communication with the intake of a heat exchanger, including heat exchanging tubes mounted in said heat exchanger, in further combination with water supply means in fluis communication with said exchanger, further including an exhaust gas outlet from said heat exchanger in communication with a second heat exchanger separate from said first heat exchanger, said second heat exchanger being in communication with heating means for the building whereby heat from the exhaust gases is transferred to the heating means for the building via the second said heat exchanger in further combination with ducts from the engine cooling system in communication with said second heat exchanger whereby additional heat generated by the engine is transferred to the second said heat exchanger thereby augmenting the heat transferred to the said means for heating the buildings further including electric coils heating the exhaust gas between the said first and second said heat exchangers whereby the said coils are provided with current from said generator.
