Question Whole House Generator
My electric company has predicted that we may have power outages this summer due to the hot weather. I have been looking for some time at standby generators and have narrowed it down to two candidates. Cummins and Kohler. The heat and the potential for civil disruptions which could lead to power failures are incentive enough for me to get serious. If I never have to use it, then I will be thankful. I just want peace of mind that we will be covered if needed.
The Cummins I am looking at is the RS20AC which is 20 Kw and runs off of either natural gas or propane.
The Kohler is the 20RESCL‑200 also a 20 Kw that runs off of either natural gas or propane.
All the Kohler generator dealers are out of stock. I found a place about 30 miles south that has the Cummins in stock. The Cummins guy will be here Saturday to assess the situation. I had a Kohler dealer out last month to assess.
Both generators get good ratings and reviews on line and are comparable in price. The Cummins gets good ratings for being quiet.
If any of you have any information or testimony on either of these units or similar units, please sound off before I make my decision.
