DONCASTER, UK — As unpredictable weather, ageing grid infrastructure and rising energy demand put growing pressure on the UK's power supply, Global Generators Ltd today announced the expansion of its residential range, Generators for Homes — a line of silent, Cummins-powered diesel standby generators engineered to keep households running through any outage.

The range, available now from Global Generators' Doncaster facility, gives homeowners a reliable, professionally engineered alternative to portable petrol generators — with the quiet running, automatic operation and durability expected of commercial-grade equipment, sized specifically for domestic use.
Why Home Backup Power Matters Now

Power interruptions are no longer a rare inconvenience. Storms, grid maintenance and increasing demand on local networks have made unplanned outages a real concern for households across the UK — particularly those in rural areas, those running medical equipment at home, or anyone working remotely and relying on a constant internet and power connection.

“A generator used to be seen as something only farms or businesses needed. That's changed. We're seeing far more homeowners looking for genuine peace of mind — the ability to keep the lights, heating, freezer and internet running no matter what the grid is doing,” said a spokesperson for Global Generators Ltd. “Our home range was built to answer that demand with equipment that's properly engineered, not a stopgap.”
Inside the Generators for Homes Range

The range spans five Cummins single-phase silent models, sized to suit everything from a small home to a larger family property with higher power demands:

Model Standby (kVA) Prime (kVA) Voltage Made In Price (Ex Works + VAT)
Cummins C17D5-1P 13 kVA 11.8 kVA 230V India £7,165
Cummins C22D5-1P 17 kVA 15.5 kVA 230V India £7,295
Cummins C28D5-1P 22 kVA 20 kVA 230V India £7,530
Cummins C33D5-1P 28.3 kVA 25.7 kVA 230V India £7,880
Cummins C38D5-1P 30 kVA 27 kVA 230V India £8,355

All models are 230V, single-phase, acoustically enclosed for quiet residential operation, and priced Ex Works plus VAT. Every unit is built around a genuine Cummins engine, backed by Global Generators' status as an authorised Cummins CPG dealer.

Built Around What Homeowners Actually Need
• Genuinely quiet operation: Silent, acoustically enclosed canopies designed for use close to a home, without the drone of an unenclosed unit.
• Right-sized for the home: Five capacity options from roughly 12 kVA to 27 kVA prime power, covering essential circuits through to whole-house backup.
• Stock ready to move: Units held in UK stock at the Doncaster facility for faster turnaround than made-to-order imports.
• Trusted engineering: Cummins engines with a global reputation for reliability, supported by Global Generators' industry expertise.
• Straightforward pricing: Transparent, competitive Ex Works pricing with no hidden specification games.

Choosing the Right Generator: What Homeowners Should Know
What size generator does a home actually need? It depends on what needs to stay powered. Covering essentials such as lighting, a fridge-freezer, boiler and Wi-Fi typically needs a smaller unit, while running a full house — including central heating pumps, kitchen appliances and multiple circuits simultaneously — calls for a larger prime output. Global Generators' team calculates the right size based on a household's actual load rather than guesswork.
Are diesel generators safe and practical for residential use? Yes. Diesel units are widely used in standby applications because diesel is easier to store safely long-term than petrol, and modern diesel engines such as Cummins' are built for exactly this kind of intermittent, reliable-start duty.

How is a standby generator different from a portable one? A portable petrol generator is started manually and typically handles only a few appliances. A standby generator in this range is installed permanently, can be configured for automatic start during an outage, and is sized to support a significantly larger portion of a home's electrical load.
How noisy is a 'silent' generator, really? Silent models are fitted with a fully enclosed, sound-attenuated canopy, reducing noise dramatically compared with an open-frame unit — quiet enough to run near a house without becoming a nuisance to occupants or neighbours.
