Smart Power Technology

24/7 Generator Monitoring in McKinney, TX

Don't just hope your generator will start; know it will. Top Flow Plumbing Co. installs advanced generator-monitoring systems that track your unit's health in real-time and send instant alerts to your phone if potential issues arise.

The Danger of "Set It and Forget It"

The Dead Battery

A generator battery can die without warning. Without monitoring, you won't know until the power goes out and the engine fails to crank.

Vacation Anxiety

If a storm hits while you are traveling, you have no way of knowing if your sump pump is running or if your pipes are freezing.

Missed Exercises

If your generator skips its weekly self-test due to a fault, an unmonitored system won't tell you, leaving you unprepared for the real emergency.

Mobile Link™ Technology

Your Generator In Your Pocket

We upgrade your standby generator with Wi-Fi or 4G LTE generator-monitoring hardware. This allows you to open an app on your phone and see exactly what your generator is doing—battery voltage, oil status, and run hours—from anywhere in the world. If a fault occurs, both you and our service team get an alert instantly. If you want true "hands-off" reliability, get started with a monitoring upgrade today.

Real-Time Status

See if the unit is running, ready, or off

Maintenance Logs

Track exactly when your next oil change is due.

Our Process

Get Connected In 4 Steps

Step Signal TestOne

We check the Wi-Fi or cellular strength near your generator to determine which hardware module will provide the most reliable connection.

Hardware Install

We professionally install the generator-monitoring device, wiring it directly into the controller for seamless data transfer.

App Setup

We help you download the app (like Mobile Link™), create your account, and link your specific generator serial number.

Alert Verification

We trigger a test fault to ensure the push notification hits your phone immediately, confirming the system is live.

Why Add Remote Monitoring?

Proactive Repair

Catch small issues (like a "low coolant" warning) before they turn into a catastrophic engine failure during a blackout.

Faster Service

When you call us for repairs, our technicians can look up your error code remotely, arriving with the exact parts needed to fix it.

Total Visibility

Whether you are at work or on the beach, you will know the exact moment your home power is restored.

The Worst Surprise

Don't Wait For The Lights To Flicker

The most frustrating service calls we get are from homeowners who didn't know their generator was broken until the storm hit. A simple "RPM Sensor Loss" error could have been fixed weeks ago if they had received a notification. Unmonitored generators are liable to fail silently. To avoid being left in the dark with a broken machine, visit our contact page to ask about adding monitoring to your existing unit.

FAQ About Generator Monitoring

Got questions about your water heater? We’ve answered the most common ones below to help you stay informed and confident in your next repair or replacement.

Can I start the generator from my phone?

For safety reasons, most apps do not allow you to remote start the unit. However, you can view its status and history anytime.
