Reliable standby and prime power systems can benefit both your home and your business in a myriad of ways. Not only do these systems protect you from the serious consequences of losing power, it also pays for itself in as little as one outage. You might believe you do not have to worry about a power outage. Perhaps you live in a place without extreme weather, or perhaps your town’s infrastructure is new - the fact is that no one knows when and where a power outage will occur. In fact, in the last year over ten million homes around the world have lost power for 24 hours or more. There are countless ways outages can happen and experiencing one could prove to be extremely uncomfortable. No matter where you live, with a Cummins standby generator you will not have to worry about whether or not you will have power. Cummins has a solid backup plan in place.

Why do I need standby power? Power outages are increasing in number and severity, which are caused by:

• Unreliable utility power grid
• Seasonal power outages
• Limited local utility power
• An aging power grid stretched to capacity
• Severe weather causing outages
• Human error by utility employees
• Local construction causing power outages

Standby power is an investment not only in lightening your homes but also in ensuring your business continuity. Safeguard your business from the increasing number and severity of costly power outages with Cummins power generation. During the past five years, serious power outages have increased over 50%, with tens of billions in lost revenue each year, and median small business losses of thousands per day. 

Cummins has multiple generator options that will fit your particular application, so you know that when the lights go out, your business keeps going.

It does not take much - the cost is enormous: tens of billions in lost revenue by commercial businesses each year, with a median loss for small businesses of thousands per day.

Out-of-pocket losses are bad enough, but there are other costs that are harder to measure:

• Transaction data that was not backed up
• Employees who are unable to work
• Perishable goods that quickly turn to garbage and end up as waste
• Compromised security systems
• Loss of customers to competition

Almost every small business will suffer a potentially costly power outage some day, but you can do something to prevent those losses now.
