Why is a portable generator less expensive than a home standby system?
A Cummins Onan Residential home standby generator set includes many features not found on a portable generator set, such as a more sophisticated control system, a fully weather protective enclosure, significantly quieter operation, and more power, so you don’t have to “get by” with just a few conveniences. With a Cummins Onan Residential standby system connected directly to a fuel system and your home’s electrical system, you never have to fill the gas tank or manually transfer power from the utility to the home standby unit.
