When power is interrupted, the Cummins Onan residential home backup system will automatically switch power to keep a home running smoothly, fueled by either natural gas (LP) or propane gas.

The popularity of the Onan portable power generator is due to their lower cost and relative ease of use. Since these units are portable, they can be used almost anywhere and require little setup. This also makes these portable generators popular for use at home outdoor events, camping, or anywhere utility power is out of the reach of an extension cord.

The Onan portable generator may be all you need for recreational purposes. And you may use up to 8,000 watts if using a generator to power tools on the jobsite. Because you plug appliances directly into a portable power generator, you'll also want to make sure that your model has the number and type of outlets you need. The size of the fuel tank also is crucial. The bigger the tank, the longer your generator can run without refilling and produce power.

Onan home portable generators have become very popular in recent years with residential homeowners. The smallest portable electric generators are small sets that can range from 900 to 8,000 watts, be handheld, mounted on a stationary frame, or a wheeled cart and generally operate on gasoline (although other fuel options are readly available). Home portable generators are less expensive (than stationary generators) and can be easily stored in a garage or utility closet when not in use. Home portable generators are available to run one or two critical home devices when utility power is interrupted. Smaller units allow the homeowner to plug an appliance directly to the generator (usually via an extension cord), where larger portable generator units may power an entire home circuit via use of a manual transfer switch.
