KNOW YOUR GENERATOR IS READY BEFORE THE POWER GOES OUT.
Total PowerWatch monitors critical generator activity, exercise performance, battery condition and compatible fault signals — then alerts you and Total Generator Pros when attention may be needed.
Professionally installed · Cellular connection · Generac, Cummins & Kohler
YOUR GENERATOR CAN FAIL SILENTLY.
A generator may miss an exercise, develop a weak battery, leave Auto mode or report a fault days or weeks before the next outage. Without connected monitoring, that problem may remain hidden until backup power is needed most.
Missed exercise
Your generator's weekly self-test can silently fail. Without connected monitoring, you may never know it stopped exercising until you need it.
Weak starting battery
The #1 cause of a no-start. Battery voltage can drop for months before a failure — visible to a monitor long before it is visible to you.
Hidden fault or controller condition
A generator may leave Auto mode or report a fault days or weeks before the next outage. PowerWatch surfaces compatible signals so you can act early.
PowerWatch gives you visibility between service visits.
THE DIFFERENCE MONITORING MAKES.
Without monitoring — it failed, he never knew.
Problems stay hidden until the power goes out.
With PowerWatch — total peace of mind.
Actionable alerts catch issues before the next outage.
CONNECTED. MONITORED. ACTIONABLE.
WE INSTALL
A Total Generator Pros technician installs and configures the cellular monitoring system for your generator.
POWERWATCH CHECKS
The system performs regular status checks and tracks critical generator activity and compatible alarm conditions.
YOU GET ALERTED
When an actionable condition is detected, alerts can be sent to you and Total Generator Pros so the next step can be evaluated.
LTE cellular means PowerWatch keeps reporting during an outage even when home internet is down, as long as there is cellular coverage at the generator.
A CELLULAR MONITOR BUILT FOR GENERATORS.
The monitor on your generator is the PowerWatch cellular monitor — the same class of hardware trusted on commercial and industrial standby fleets — installed and serviced by Total Generator Pros.
LTE cellular, not Wi-Fi
The PowerWatch monitor has its own LTE cellular connection. It keeps reporting during an outage even when your home internet and router are down, as long as there is cellular coverage at the generator.
Lifetime hardware warranty
The PowerWatch cellular monitor carries a lifetime hardware warranty. Installation, monitoring service and on-site labor are handled and billed by Total Generator Pros.
Installed with a custom harness
Our technician mounts the monitor and connects it to your generator with a custom wire harness, then verifies signal and reporting before we leave. Available readings depend on the generator model and controller.
Broad generator compatibility
The PowerWatch monitor works with essentially all Generac models regardless of age, plus Kohler and Cummins units. We confirm compatibility for your specific generator before installation.
Cellular coverage is required at the generator location. Device pictured is representative; the exact monitor model installed depends on your generator and controller.
SEE EVERYTHING IN THE POWERWATCH APP.
Total PowerWatch customers get access to the PowerWatch monitoring portal and mobile app. The readings, alarms and commands available on your account depend on your generator model, controller and install package.
The PowerWatch app
See your generator from your phone. The PowerWatch app runs on iOS and Android and in any web browser, so status is a tap away.
List and map view
Every monitored generator shown as Good, Running, Alarm or Offline — in a list or on a map.
Current status
Health readiness, alarm state, battery voltage, engine hours and the last report time in one snapshot.
Events log
A full history of run activity, alarms and daily check-ins going back to the day it was installed.
