Cummins Generators Prices and Installation Cost

Observe and control your standby generator from anywhere with your mobile device.

When utility power fails, your home backup power starts automatically with ATS technology.

Cummins offers a wide range of generator sets, including diesel generators, natural gas generators, and biogas generators. They cater to various power needs from residential backup power to large industrial installations.

Cost-effective extended warranty options allow for full coverage up to 10 years.

Severe storms can cause short-term or long-term power outages, but finding peace of mind doesn’t have to be a headache. Cummins QuietConnect™ home standby generators are safe, permanent and convenient backup solutions for your entire house.

After a power outage, prioritize safety by considering these tips:

• Discarding perishable food and medications that may have spoiled.
• Check with your insurance to determine if they cover any damages resulting from the outage.
• Take the time to inspect electrical appliances for any potential damage before use.
• Reset clocks, alarms, and other electronic devices.
• Additionally, consider replenishing emergency supplies, such as batteries and non-perishable food items, to prepare for any future outages.

Determining the appropriate size of generator to run a house involves assessing the total power requirements of essential appliances and devices that would need to be operational during a power outage. Start by compiling a list of these items and calculating their total wattage, considering both their running watts and any additional starting watts they may require. Typical household needs can range from 5,000 to 10,000 watts for basic essentials, but larger homes or those with central air conditioning may require generators with capacities exceeding 10,000 watts.

The cost of a whole house generator can vary significantly based on several factors including the generator’s size, brand, fuel type, installation requirements, and any additional features or accessories. Generally, the price for a whole house generator can range from approximately $5,000 to $20,000 or more.

Additional costs to consider include installation expenses, which can vary based on factors such as the complexity of installation, local building codes, fuel line installation (if necessary), and any required permits.

A whole house generator automatically provides backup power to a home during utility outages by detecting power loss, starting up, and transferring electricity through an automatic transfer switch to maintain essential home functions until utility power is restored.

You can choose to backup your entire home or just specific circuits depending on your needs and the capacity of the generator you install. Whole house generators are designed to provide backup power to all essential circuits in your home, including lights, appliances, HVAC systems, and other critical devices. The automatic transfer switch (ATS) allows for seamless switching between utility power and generator power, ensuring that your entire home remains powered during an outage.

Alternatively, you can opt for a partial backup solution by selecting specific circuits to be connected to the generator. This approach allows you to prioritize essential circuits such as refrigerators, sump pumps, heating systems, and select outlets or rooms in your home. This option is often chosen when installing a smaller capacity generator or when focusing on critical areas of the home during power outages.
