I'm now surprised I have never thought about that. What is the reason this isn't common?

  It's been increasingly scaled down. But not quite to the point of being done residentially. Places like hospitals have installed multi-megawatt turbines because it saves them the cost of standby backup generators, instead they can use the grid as backup for their internal generation. https://www.toromontpowersystems.com/electric-power/products/chp/powerprofiles https://www.toromontpowersystems.com/electric-power/products... Also, heating loads residentially may be bigger than electric loads, but grid-intertie system can resolve that.
