Apparatus for the combined production of heat and electrical energy comprising an internal combustion engine driving an electricity generator and enclosed in a thermally insulated housing with heat exchangers for extracting heat from the engine coolant, the engine oil, the exhaust gases from the engine and from the electricity generator, and for transferring this heat to an external heating circuit, in which all the components are carried by a rectangular or cubic supporting framework to which the thermal and acoustic insulation panels are attached by quick-release fastenings, the engine and generator being connected together to form a rigid unit which is suspended from the framework while the ignition equipment of the engine is housed externally of the framework and cooled by the incoming air being drawn into the engine flowing through a housing in which it is supported.
