Power You Can Depend On When It Matters Most

When the lights go out, you need backup power that works. That's why Buckeye Power Systems partners with Cummins Power Generation to bring you industry-leading standby generators built on over a century of engineering excellence and innovation.

Cummins powers critical infrastructure worldwide, from hospitals and data centers to airports and marine vessels. That same trusted technology is now available to protect your home or business from unexpected power outages caused by severe weather, grid failures, and other disruptions.

Whether you need whole-house coverage or essential circuit protection, Cummins air- and liquid-cooled generators deliver the reliability, performance, and peace of mind you deserve. This guide explores the full range of Cummins generator models available through Buckeye Power Systems and highlights what sets them apart from the competition.

Cummins Quiet Connect™ Air-Cooled Generators

The Perfect Balance of Power and Value

Cummins offers three air-cooled generator models ranging from 13kW to 20kW. While some competitors offer smaller units, this size range represents the sweet spot for most residential applications. When selecting a standby generator, it's crucial to choose adequate capacity. Sizing slightly above your calculated electrical load ensures smooth operation and prevents system overload.

Engineered, tested, and manufactured in Fridley, Minnesota, Cummins QuietConnect™ air-cooled generators combine American craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. These units deliver exceptional performance across multiple dimensions.

Operating noise reaches an industry-leading low of just 65 dB(A), comparable to normal conversation volume. This makes Cummins the quietest air-cooled generator on the market.

Cold weather performance comes standard with reliable starts down to 0°F right out of the box. Extreme cold weather models extend operational protection to -40°F.

Structural integrity is uncompromising, with enclosures engineered to withstand winds up to 180 mph.

Remote monitoring capabilities keep you connected, sending alerts directly to your smartphone so you always know your generator's status.

Reliability is backed by Cummins' reputation as the world leader in power generation equipment.
