Wi-Fi Monitoring for Reliability & Convenience


Unless a power outage calls it to action, your home’s standby generator sits idle. Long periods of disuse frequently may give rise to mechanical or electrical issues—and you may wonder if your generator will work when the next outage arrives. Without regular monitoring, your standby or portable generator could fail when you need it most. That’s where we come in!

Standby generators are programmed to run weekly diagnostic tests that ensure their readiness. With off-site generator monitoring, homeowners have peace of mind knowing that Parrish Services receives these generator reports. This data allows our certified electrical technicians to service or repair your generator when needed—and long before the next nor’easter, ice storm or grid failure hits.

To assure streamlined backup power when an emergency arises, homeowners also need testing for transfer switches. Included with Parrish Services’ monitoring and maintenance plans is annual testing for transfer switches, which is done during your once-yearly generator service visit and safety checkup.

Generator monitoring is an especially wise addition to smart home automation. If you are upgrading your home’s mechanical systems to include additional smart tech solutions, ask a Parrish technician about elevating home comfort and security with added smart home features like learning thermostats, auto-alarm systems, smart locks and security lighting, media systems and more.

Remote Generator Monitoring for Peace of Mind


If you are considering a generator monitoring system, schedule a convenient remote consultation with Parrish team members. Solutions include Wi-Fi monitoring for new generator installations and older retrofits, which allow you to manage backup power and settings remotely—from any location. Your monitoring control panel is set to interface with a handy app, allowing you to check fuel supplies, tailor notifications and deliver periodic diagnostic reports from any smart device or computer.

I had a great experience with Parrish, and the head technician, Danny Shoop (the assistant was also very good). We had a number of plumbing issues that needed repair, and the work was completed to our satisfaction. I was impressed by Danny's professionalism, his work ethic, and the suggestions and recommendations he made. I will definitely use Parrish again.

Brandon did a routine inspection of our HVAC that we knew was reaching its replacement age. He was very professional and honest with his assessment and what needed to be repaired or replaced and why, complete with photos and diagnostics. He made sure I knew all my options and pricing (including cost savings) for the recommended parts and services. Very happy with Brandon’s service and Parrish in general.

My wife, Janice, worked with Alton Wallace to convert our fireplace from gas to electric, and Alton was wonderful! We’d never tackled a project like this before so we had some questions along the way, but Alton was very patient and willing to walk us through step-by-step. He was personable and very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend Alton to future clients!
