Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 5-11, 2019, and hurricane season begins June 1st. A Cummins QuietConnect home standby generator could save millions of Americans from financial and personal stress caused by power outages.
“Many of us are so busy in our daily lives that we just don’t think about preparing until it’s too late”Cheryl Nelson is Natural Disaster Preparedness Spokesperson.
“Hurricane Michael devastated parts of the Florida panhandle and over one million people lost power in the Southeast. Hurricane Florence caused historic flooding in the Carolinas, even in areas that were not in a flood zone.”
Cummins recently completed a national survey to assess the financial and emotional impact these catastrophic storms can have on local communities. This validated the need to prepare families.
Surveyed 1,000 Americans who had experienced power outages and hurricanes, 75 percent said they wished they were better prepared. 67 percent also wished they had backup power. A further 69 percent of respondents did not have access to the essentials like heat, water, lights and washer/dryer (41%)
The QuietConnect line of home-standby generators has been enhanced with sound-insulated, weatherproof enclosures and a 65dB or less noise level, which is approximately the same volume that a normal conversation. These generators were designed, tested and manufactured in the USA.
Cummins home-generators provide homeowners with peace of mind. It is the brand homeowners trust for power, durability, and reliability. The generator, which is either natural gas- or liquid propane-fueled, automatically provides power quickly and quietly during an outage.
The automatic transfer switch automatically connects the generator to your electrical system so it can be powered when utility power is lost. This ensures that families don’t go without power. This provides a permanent, safe backup power solution for small businesses and homes. This is the ultimate hurricane preparation.
