Who We Serve
Homeowners
Whether you have a modest starter home or a large estate, Cummins has a standby generator sized perfectly for your needs. Keep your family safe, comfortable, and connected, no matter what the weather brings.
Small Business Owners
Every minute of downtime costs you money, customers, and reputation. Cummins small commercial generators are designed to keep your operations running without interruption —from retail shops and restaurants to medical offices, salons, and warehouses.
What Is a Cummins Standby Generator?
A Cummins whole home or commercial standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system connected directly to your electrical panel and natural gas or propane supply. The moment utility power fails, the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) detects the outage and kicks the generator on — automatically, within seconds. When utility power returns, it seamlessly transfers back. No manual startup. No extension cords. No disruption to your day.
Why Choose Cummins?
Over 100 Years of Engineering Excellence
Cummins has been building world-class engines and power systems since 1919. Their generators
are found in hospitals, data centers, military facilities, and trucking fleets worldwide — the same trusted technology now protects your home and business.
The QuietConnect™ Advantage — Industry-Leading Quiet Operation
Cummins' patented sound attenuation technology makes their generators among the quietest standby generators in their class — operating at just 65 dBA, quieter than a normal conversation. Your neighbors won't even know it's running. Perfect for residential neighborhoods and professional business environments alike.
Intelligent Load Management
Cummins generators are equipped with smart Intelligent Load Management technology that learns and remembers the power demands of your 240-volt appliances — like air conditioners, water heaters, and dryers. It automatically prioritizes and manages up to four heavy loads, allowing a more fuel-efficient generator to handle your whole home or business without overloading the system.
Clean Power for Sensitive Electronics
Cummins generators deliver rock-steady power with less than 5% total harmonic distortion—keeping voltage variation within 1.25% under all conditions. That means safe, clean electricity for computers, smart devices, medical equipment, security systems, and POS terminals.
Remote Monitoring & Control — Anywhere, Anytime
The Cloud Connect Smartphone App (included at no cost) lets you check your generator's status, program exercise schedules, and even start or stop the generator remotely from your phone, tablet, or computer. You can also send performance data directly to your authorized dealer for proactive, worry-free maintenance.
Built for Extreme Conditions
Cummins generators are cold weather-ready, operating reliably in temperatures as low as 0°F—with optional accessories available for operation down to -40°F. Their aluminum enclosures are engineered to withstand 180 MPH wind loads, making them ideal for hurricane and severe storm-prone regions like the Southeast.
Compact, Attractive Design
Cummins' sleek, low-profile enclosures are designed to blend into your landscaping — not standout as an eyesore. The compact footprint even meets NFPA 37 code for installation as close as 18 inches from your home, giving you more placement flexibility.
Engineered & Manufactured in the USA
Cummins residential generators are engineered, tested, and manufactured right here in the United States, backed by the world's largest network of certified dealers and distributors.
