Why It Matters

Don't Wait for an Outage to Find a Problem

Your whole-home standby generator is designed to start automatically when the power goes out. But what if a dead battery, a fault code, or a missed exercise cycle means it won't start when you need it most? Without monitoring, these problems can go unnoticed for weeks.

Through secure Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity, our team receives real-time status updates, performance data, and fault notifications from your generator — allowing us to identify and respond to issues before they become failures. If your generator doesn't start on its scheduled exercise date, we know about it immediately.

Generator Fleet Monitoring is our remote monitoring service for homeowners with Generac and other standby generators throughout Council Bluffs and the Omaha metro area. We keep an eye on your generator around the clock so it's ready when the next storm hits.

Getting Started

Requirements & What to Expect

To participate in Generator Fleet Monitoring, your generator needs an active internet connection or adequate cellular signal and a manufacturer-approved monitoring module installed and registered. Many newer Generac units come with Mobile Link monitoring built in. If your generator doesn't currently have a monitoring module, we can evaluate your system and recommend the appropriate hardware.

Generator Fleet Monitoring is ideal for any homeowner who wants the peace of mind that comes with knowing their generator is being watched. It's especially valuable if you travel frequently, own a second home, or simply want to know that your backup power system is ready without having to check it yourself.

Reduced emergency failures by catching issues before they cause problems

Faster response time with real-time status visibility

Increased reliability through continuous condition tracking

Verified system readiness without manual checks

Complete service documentation for warranty compliance

Peace of mind knowing your generator is being watched around the clock

Common Questions

Generator Monitoring FAQs

Does my generator need special equipment for remote monitoring?
Yes, your generator needs a manufacturer-approved monitoring module (Wi-Fi or cellular). Many newer Generac units come with Mobile Link monitoring built in. If your unit doesn't have one, we can evaluate whether a module can be added.
Will I receive alerts too, or only your team?
Depending on the monitoring platform and your generator's brand, you may have access to a homeowner app that provides basic status information. Our team receives the full diagnostic data and fault alerts for service response.
What happens when your team receives a fault alert?
We assess the alert immediately. If we can resolve the issue remotely (such as clearing a non-critical fault code), we'll do so and document it. If a service visit is needed, we'll contact you to schedule a priority appointment.
Can you monitor generators from different manufacturers?
We primarily monitor Generac systems through their Mobile Link platform, but we can evaluate monitoring options for other brands on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to discuss your specific setup.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
Contact us for details on program terms. We'll work with you to find an arrangement that fits your needs.
Does monitoring replace annual maintenance?
No. Monitoring detects faults and tracks performance, but it doesn't replace the hands-on inspection, oil changes, filter replacements, and physical testing that annual maintenance provides. We strongly recommend pairing Generator Fleet Monitoring with our Home Generator Care plan for complete protection.
