Cummins Inc. accepted a starring role on the small screen by helping a military family rebuild their life and their home, all of it chronicled on a new Lifetime show.
The global diesel engine-maker teamed up with a television show called “Military Makeover” to provide a standby home generator to a military family in Florida whose home was decimated by a hurricane last year.
The family, Cody Patron and her daughter, Layla, who live in Panama City, Florida, received a 20kW QuietConnect air-cooled generator and RS20 200 amp Automatic Transfer Switch from Cummins, said James Wide, a Cummins spokesman.
The generator will power the family’s home during power outages, Wide explained.
At half capacity, the generator can power the house for at least a week, Cummins officials said. At full capacity, the generator can power everything in the house, including the air conditioning unit, for around three days.
“Military Makeover” helps military families across the country by giving their homes makeovers. The show partners with Fortune 500 companies, designers, contractors, landscapers and other professionals, according to the show’s website.
