About 20kW Diesel Generators
We offer 20 kW diesel standby generators from Generac and Cummins to meet the backup power needs of your home or business. While diesel has traditionally been reserved for the commercial space, homeowners are increasingly flocking to this fuel type, especially those who aren’t connected to a natural gas line or liquid propane.
What Can I Power with 20 KW?
In many cases, a 20 kilowatt generator is enough to power a home or small business (assuming you’re not running everything simultaneously). If you have an all-electric home, however, you may want more power.
Is Diesel Better than Gas?
With its higher power output and greater efficiency, a diesel generator is better suited for high-demand or remote applications than gas. Diesel generators are larger and more robust than gas generators and can, therefore, handle higher power loads. These engines are almost always liquid-cooled rather than air-cooled.
