Yes, the Cummins technician that commissions our generators insists that locations with consistent low’s below 15F require the coolant heater. All but two of my installs(outdoor) have omitted connecting the heater, and have seen some brief sub-0 temperatures but generally average mid-30s. One of the two that does have the heater connected, is located at a high elevation telecom site, and when I serviced the system after not being there for a couple of winters, it was found that someone had shut off both the battery charger circuit and the coolant heater circuit and the generator didn’t seem worse for the wear, and no coolant temp codes were thrown.
