Softwash Service
Softwash service, stucco exterior and hard surfaces:
Green Sun Energy Services soft washed the exterior of this Holmdel home, which is finished in stucco. The cleaning solution was a sodium hypochlorite and surfactant mixture applied with an extended dwell time and kept wet throughout the process, which allows the chemistry to break down biological growth such as algae and mold without the high-pressure water that can damage stucco surfaces. Work covered the full exterior, including the decorative columns.
The scope also included the driveway and pool deck. These hard surfaces were treated with a sodium hypochlorite and surfactant-based formula suited to the material. Total surface area cleaned exceeded 10,000 square feet.
PowerBase Silver Plan, Generac 22 kW standby generator
This Holmdel property is enrolled in a PowerBase Silver Plan covering a Generac 22 kW (LP) / 19.5 kW (NG) 7000 Series generator, model 7043. The plan includes scheduled maintenance visits performed by Green Sun to keep the unit in reliable working order.
The generator is connected through a 100-amp transfer switch configured for managed whole-house load coverage, serving the home on the JCP&L utility grid. Scheduled service under the plan ensures the unit is inspected and exercised on a regular basis so it is ready when utility power is interrupted.

Why they chose us
The homeowners in Holmdel trusted Green Sun Energy Services with two distinct needs: a full exterior soft wash across more than 10,000 square feet of stucco, columns, driveway, and pool deck, and the ongoing care of a 22 kW Generac standby generator running on natural gas with a managed whole-house automatic transfer switch. For the soft wash, the crew applied a sodium hypochlorite and surfactant solution with an extended dwell time suited to stucco — cleaning the cause rather than forcing the surface. The generator service gave the household reliable backup power kept ready before it was ever needed. The homeowners summed up the experience simply: "their attention to detail was amazing."

Questions from Holmdel homeowners
Soft washingWhy are plants pre-soaked before soft washing?
Pre-wetting vegetation gives leaves and the surrounding soil fresh water before they may encounter incidental cleaning overspray. Plant protection is an important part of professional soft washing, and the published process specifically includes pre-soaking landscaping and sensitive vegetation before treatment.
Soft washingDoes roof algae mean the roof needs to be replaced?
Not necessarily. Visible algae staining can make a roof look much older than it is. If the shingles are otherwise in serviceable condition, manufacturer-compatible cleaning may improve the appearance substantially. A roof inspection should distinguish cosmetic staining from actual shingle deterioration.
Standby generatorWill a 22 kW generator run an entire Holmdel house?
For many homes, yes, but that does not mean every load can run at the same moment. Houses with two central air conditioners, electric heat, EV charging, pool equipment or electric cooking may need load management or a larger machine. The answer comes from a load calculation rather than from the phrase whole house.
Standby generatorDoes a 200-amp service need a 200-amp transfer switch?
A transfer switch installed in the service path has to be rated appropriately for the service and the configuration. A 200-amp service commonly uses a 200-amp service-rated switch, but the actual design is confirmed by the electrician rather than assumed from the service size.
Standby generatorHow is the gas pipe size worked out?
From the generator's demand, the available pressure, the pipe length, the allowable pressure drop, the fittings, the pipe material and every other appliance connected to the system. The adopted fuel-gas code carries the sizing requirements and tables, and the model's published fuel consumption goes into the calculation.
