Posted by Victor Seropian on April 19th, 2017

Cummins natural gas generators provide an economical solution to your electrical power needs. There are a variety of power generation packages to choose from, so you will surely find the right solution whether you intend to use the system for commercial or home applications. These power production sets cater to a variety of needs in an appropriate size or form factor. Alternative fuel models come with alternators in the 0.6kVA range for small and portable use, and up to 30,000kVA units for larger commercial applications. Because they run on natural gas, they are much more efficient and have much fewer emissions compared to their conventional fuel counterparts. The low cost of running these generators alone is enough reason to consider them as a great alternative, especially as today's economic and political uncertainties have made petroleum prices constantly unpredictable. 

Natural gas is by far one of the cleanest forms of fuel available at this time. With a high energy density and a cleaner burn, they can provide higher efficiencies compared to diesel-run generators. Exhaust from burning fossil fuels such as nitrogen, sulfur and carbon dioxide are lower with natural gas, making them ideal for use where waste gasses are undesirable. Less emissions equals cleaner air and that also equates to a healthier and safer environment. 

Here’s another reason to use natural gas generators: they are very efficient, which means you need to burn less fuel to generate power. Prices are likewise lower compared to diesel, making these generators a practical alternative for homes. Power from the grid comes out as the more expensive option in comparison. 

Aside from being economical and cleaner, natural gas can also be delivered via pipelines, which currently is available in most homes and communities. This renders storing of fuel redundant. The readily-available fuel delivery method makes these generators very dependable. It also simplifies the installation of these power systems. 

Note that Cummins likewise distributes silent operation units which are ideal for residential installations. Their suite of accessories (including transfer switches, integrated control systems and switchgear), makes them the perfect choice, whatever the installation requirement may be. A worldwide supply chain for parts and services gives you extra piece of mind.
