Why Tampa Bay Chooses Cummins for Hurricane Season
When a major hurricane makes landfall, Tampa Bay residents may be without grid power for 5-14 days. You need a generator that runs quietly, reliably, for as long as it takes.
Quietest in Class
65 dBA — as quiet as a normal conversation. Run through the night during a Tampa hurricane without noise concerns.
500-Hour Oil Changes
Cummins RS Series runs 500 hours between oil changes. During a 2-week post-hurricane outage, that's uninterrupted peace of mind.
AC-Capable
Tampa's post-hurricane heat is dangerous. Cummins 20kW powers central AC so your home stays safe and livable.
Medical Grade Reliability
The same Cummins engineering that runs hospital backup systems protects your family's medical equipment and medications.

Cummins Tampa — Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Cummins for Tampa Bay hurricane protection?
Tampa Bay hurricane protection demands the most reliable generator available — and Cummins is the global standard for critical power. Cummins generators run hospitals, emergency services, and data centers through the most severe weather events. For Tampa Bay homeowners who need their generator to run continuously for 5-14 days during and after a major hurricane, Cummins QuietConnect RS Series offers unmatched reliability, the quietest operation (65 dBA), and the longest service intervals in its class. When a Category 3+ hurricane hits Tampa Bay, you need power you can count on.
What Cummins model is best for Tampa homes?
For Tampa Bay residential applications, we most commonly install the Cummins RS13A (13kW) and RS20A (20kW). The RS20A is our most popular Tampa model — it powers your entire home including central air conditioning, which is critical for surviving Florida's heat and humidity during extended post-hurricane outages. If the generator can't keep your AC running, the heat becomes dangerous within hours.
How does Cummins compare to Generac for Tampa hurricane season?
Both brands are excellent. Generac is America's most popular home standby brand with the largest service network. Cummins offers quieter operation (65 dBA vs 67+ dBA), longer service intervals (500 hours vs 200 hours), and commercial-grade build quality. Tampa Bay homeowners who want the absolute maximum in reliability and quiet operation often choose Cummins; homeowners looking for the widest service network and most competitive pricing typically choose Generac. We're authorized dealers for both — we'll help you choose honestly.
How much does Cummins generator installation cost in Tampa?
Cummins home standby generators in Tampa run $9,000-$14,000 fully installed, including permits, concrete pad, transfer switch, and labor. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we pass dealer-cost savings to Tampa Bay families — saving $2,000-$4,000 versus commercial dealers. Synchrony financing starts at $25/month with high approval odds including challenged credit.
