Soft washing uses a cleaning solution and low pressure instead of force, and on a roof that matters: pressure washing shingles takes the granules straight off them. These are New Jersey homes we cleaned, with what was treated on each one and the town it is in. Where we took photographs before and after, you will see the same surface twice.

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Lincroft, NJ | A 16 kW Standby and a Freshly Washed House

Philip in Lincroft has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The standby generator went in that November and we came back to wash the house five years later. A 16 kW machine on a 150-amp service: Most of the houses we back up run on a 200-amp service. This one is 2,800 square feet on 150 amps, which changes what the answer has to look like. The electrical calculation comes to 20,896 watts. The machine is a Generac Guardian 16 kW home standby, model 7176, rated 16 kW on natural gas and on propane alike, […]

22 kW Generac standby generator in Leonardo, NJ

Standby Generator, Soft Washing and Holiday Lighting in Leonardo, NJ | Holiday Lights and Soft Washing

Nelson from Leonardo, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2022, and has come back twice since – once for the roofline and once for the siding. A 19.5 kW Generac on a managed whole-house switch: Commissioned on 14 July 2022. The load calculation asked for a minimum of 15 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV, and a Generac Guardian rated 19.5 kW on natural gas went in – 22 kW were it running on propane – behind a 200-amp managed whole-house transfer switch with two smart management modules and whole-house surge protection. The

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Farmingdale, NJ | Whole-House Backup for 1,817 Square Feet

Cathy in Farmingdale has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2024. The standby generator was commissioned in April 2025 and the house was soft washed eleven weeks after that. 17 kW for a house that needs twelve: This is a compact house — 1,817 square feet on a 150-amp service — and nearly everything with an appetite for power runs on gas: the furnace, the clothes dryer, the range and the hot water. The electrical calculation comes to 15,308 watts. The one three-ton air conditioner accounts for 3,000 of that, and it is the load that

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Rumson, NJ | 22 kW Generac

Steve in Rumson has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. The standby generator was commissioned that winter and we washed the outside of the house in May 2026. A twelve-seat hot tub and a pool: The electrical calculation for this house comes to 33,787 watts, well above what a house of this size would usually reach. Two things account for the difference: a twelve-seat hot tub and a pool. Neither is a load you can simply drop from the list. A hot tub that loses power in January is a problem that gets worse the

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Farmingdale, NJ | 16 kW Generac

Carol in Farmingdale has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2016. The standby generator went in that May and we came back to wash the house in July 2025. Almost nothing to manage: Most standby installations involve a negotiation. The calculation comes out above what the machine can hold, so something has to agree to wait — usually the air conditioning, sometimes an oven or a hot tub — and a management module is fitted to make that happen automatically. This house barely needed one. The electrical calculation comes to 16,436 watts, and the only load

20 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Middletown, NJ | 20 kW Generac

Carroll in Middletown has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. The standby generator was commissioned in May 2021 and we soft washed the house in June 2025. One module, one air conditioner: Some houses need three management modules and a long conversation about which loads can wait. This one needed a single module and one decision. The house is 3,000 square feet on a 200-amp service and its electrical calculation comes to 19,856 watts. A five-ton air conditioner is 5,000 of that on its own — a quarter of the whole figure in one appliance.

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Farmingdale, NJ | 20 kW Generac

George and Donna in Farmingdale have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since August of 2013. The standby generator was commissioned that October and we soft washed the house in May 2025. Two ovens and a four-ton air conditioner: Two electric ovens is what makes this house different from most of the ones on these pages. Kitchens with two ovens tend to belong to households that cook for a crowd, and the times they cook for a crowd are holidays — which is also when the grid is most likely to fail and the least convenient moment to discover that

Solar Panel Installation and Soft Washing in Oceanport, NJ | Thirty-Three Panels and a Row of Pines

Charlotte in Oceanport has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The array was commissioned that December and we soft washed the house in May 2025. Thirty-three panels, and a condition: Thirty-three LG 340-watt panels went onto the back of this house in two groups — eighteen on the main roof and fifteen over the garage — both at a shallow 22.6-degree pitch on an azimuth of 145 degrees. It is a good roof: the main group has no measured shading at all. The garage group is the one with a story attached. It carries eight

Standby Generator Installation and Soft Washing in Farmingdale, NJ | A 2013 Generator and a 2026 Soft Wash

Rick in Farmingdale has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2012. He signed for the generator a week before Christmas and it was commissioned the following May. The generator, from 2013: The machine is a Generac Guardian 20 kW home standby, model 6244. It delivers 18 kW on natural gas, which is what this 2,000 square foot house runs on, and it sits behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch mounted indoors beside the service panel in the garage. A service-rated switch takes the place of the main disconnect rather than sitting behind it, so the generator

Standby Generator Service and Soft Washing in Red Bank, NJ | A Century-Old House

Kathy in Red Bank has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2019, when the servicing of the generator here came to us. In April 2026 we cleaned the outside of the house, which is the part of this job worth explaining. Moss, bluestone and brick: By the household’s own account this house is more than a hundred years old, and the surfaces around it are the kind that a century leaves its mark on: a brick front step, a bluestone patio, a sidewalk, and siding with green moss established on it. This is exactly the property

Standby Generator Service and Soft Washing in Belmar, NJ | A Honeywell Standby and a Soft-Washed Deck

Ginny in Belmar has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2013. The generator here was installed by another company that January and the servicing came to us six months later. In July 2025 we cleaned the back of the property as well. A generator that is not a Generac: Most of the standby machines on these pages are Generacs. This one is a Honeywell 20 kW, model 0060431, and it is worth saying plainly that we service it on the same terms as everything else. That matters more than brand loyalty makes it sound. A household

Standby Generator Service and Soft Washing in Spray Beach, NJ | We Did Not Install, on Long Beach Island

The Pizzo household in Spray Beach has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The generator on this property was put in by another company in January 2021. We look after it now, and in the summer of 2025 we washed the house as well. Taking on a generator installed by others: Not every generator we maintain is one we installed, and a machine that was fitted by somebody else is not a lesser job to take on — it is a more careful one. There is no survey of ours to read, no record of
