Connect Series Liquid-Cooled

Cummins RS25

25kW liquid-cooled standby generator, Natural Gas / LP Vapor. Large custom homes, or homes with a pool, shop, well and multiple HVAC zones.

Representative manufacturer image of the range. Enclosure finish, color and dimensions vary by model and configuration — see the specifications below for this unit.

25 kW Natural Gas / LP Vapor Liquid-cooled Aluminum

The RS25 is liquid-cooled. That matters above roughly 25kW, where an air-cooled engine can no longer shed heat during the long runs a multi-day outage demands. It is a larger machine - 72 x 34 x 45.5 inches and 1109 lb - and it needs a proper pad and clearance.

It runs on natural gas or LP vapor. On natural gas there is no tank to fill and no runtime limit as long as the utility main holds pressure, which is why it is the default choice on almost every DFW home that already has gas service.

Available in 3 factory configurations: 120/240 1Ph, 120/208 3Ph, 120/240 3Ph. The correct one depends on your incoming service, not on preference - ordering the wrong voltage is the single most expensive mistake on a job like this, so we confirm it against your meter and panel before anything is ordered.

Built in

What the RS25 does that the spec table does not show

1800 rpm, not 3600

Liquid-cooled sets turn at half the speed of an air-cooled unit. Fewer revolutions per hour of running means less wear, and it is a large part of why these are quieter despite being far more powerful.

Sound Level 2 enclosure

From 60 dB(A) at 23 feet on the smaller sets. A 30kW liquid-cooled unit is quieter than a 20kW air-cooled one.

PowerCommand control

Electronic governing and voltage regulation, with alarm and status monitoring. Regulation is tighter than the air-cooled range at ±1.0%.

Continuous rated output

A radiator loop means it can hold rated output indefinitely rather than shedding heat into the air. That is the practical difference in a multi-day outage.

Questions about the RS25

How much does a Cummins RS25 cost installed in Dallas-Fort Worth?

The RS25 equipment price is $16,829.15. Installation on a 25kW liquid-cooled unit varies too widely to band honestly - the pad, the fuel supply, the switchgear and the electrical service are all engineered to the specific site. We quote it in writing after a site survey, and we will tell you the drivers before we quote so you can see where the money goes.

What will the RS25 actually run?

True whole-house coverage for a 4,000-6,000 sq ft home with multiple AC systems, no load shedding required. Final confirmation comes from a load calculation against your actual panel, which we do at the survey.

Do I need a transfer switch with the RS25?

Yes. A standby generator cannot be code-compliantly connected without an automatic transfer switch - it is what keeps your generator from backfeeding the utility line and endangering line crews. The switch is sized to your electrical service, not to the generator, so we confirm your service size at the survey before specifying it.

Is the RS25 in stock?

Availability changes weekly. A refundable deposit reserves a specific unit and locks the equipment price for 90 days, which is the practical way to hold one while the survey and permit work happen. If we cannot source it in a reasonable window, you get the deposit back.
