The invention relates to an installation for generating heat and/or electricity in buildings. It comprises a water supply (3), an electricity supply (2), an oxy-hydrogen generator (1) connected to the water and electricity supply to produce oxy-hydrogen from the water, in particular by means of electrolysis. At least one convertor (4 - 7), such as a combined electricity/heat producing apparatus (4), converts the energy of the oxy-hydrogen into heat and/or electricity for use in the buildings.
