Model RS36 C36N6 - A051Y417 | QuietConnect Series | Whole House Generator
Complete Home Power Protection When You Need It Most
The Cummins RS36 is a premium 36-kilowatt standby generator designed to automatically power your entire home during outages. Part of the acclaimed QuietConnect Series, this generator delivers the reliability Cummins is known for while operating more quietly than comparable models.
Built for Any Weather, Built to Last
This liquid-cooled generator is engineered to start and run reliably in extreme conditions - from scorching heat to freezing cold, and even in winds up to 180 mph. The robust aluminum enclosure features a durable powder-coated finish that resists corrosion and weathering, ensuring years of dependable service.
Smart, Efficient Operation
Flexible Exercise Mode - Unlike generators that run unnecessary weekly tests, the RS36's intelligent exercise system can be customized to run as infrequently as once every six months for just two minutes. This reduces fuel consumption, emissions, and noise while keeping your generator ready when needed.
Advanced Self-Diagnostics - The PowerCommand electronic control system continuously monitors your generator's health and provides clear diagnostic information, making maintenance simple and preventing issues before they occur.
Easy Maintenance & Service
Removable panels and strategically placed service doors provide quick access to all maintenance points. Critical components are designed for fast, efficient servicing to minimize downtime and keep your generator running at peak performance.
