All residential generator models run on either natural gas or propane

Home standby generators are more than a luxury these days. Extreme weather, construction, and many other unforeseen complications can interrupt the electrical service to your home. With a Cummins Onan Home Standby System, you can rest assure that your home will have all the comfort and convenience you depend on.

Clean, quiet, and neighborhood friendly, all residential generator models run on either natural gas or propane.

Why use an residential generator instead of a portable for home standby emergency power? A permanent residential generator set includes many additional features, including a more complex control system, and usually has more power capacity. It also has a weather protective enclosure that is also designed for sound reduction.

  • Pressurized cylinder of flammable gas
  • Fuel system is more complicated (increased possibility of failure)
