Softwash Service
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 mould 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.
This property also carries a PowerBase maintenance plan covering its standby generator, under which Green Sun performs scheduled service visits to keep the unit in working order.
Standby generator maintenance plan
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.

Questions from Holmdel homeowners
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.
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 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.
