What's Driving Whole Home Surge Protection Demand in California
Public Safety Power Shutoffs don't just cut power cleanly — the process of de-energizing and later re-energizing lines across a service area can produce voltage fluctuations, and the wildfires these shutoffs are meant to prevent have historically been tied to roughly half of California's most destructive fire events, often originating with electrical equipment under stress. Homeowners layering solar, battery storage, and backup systems into their homes to manage these outages are also protecting a growing amount of sensitive equipment that a single bad surge could damage all at once. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel is designed to catch that kind of event, which has made it a natural pairing with the battery and backup systems California homeowners are already installing for PSPS resilience.
Licensing in California: California requires anyone contracting electrical work above minor threshold amounts to hold a C-10 Electrical Contractor license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Qualifying requires at least four years of journey-level electrical experience within the past ten years — a relevant college degree or approved apprenticeship can substitute for up to three of those years — plus passing both the C-10 trade exam, which covers the National Electrical Code, grounding and bonding, and solar PV systems, and a separate Law & Business exam, with a minimum score of 72% on each. Licensees must keep a $15,000 contractor's bond on file with CSLB, plus an additional $12,500 bond for a qualifying individual who isn't an owner, and carry workers' compensation insurance if they have employees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SkilledMob perform electrical work directly?
No. SkilledMob does not send out electricians or perform electrical work itself. We're strictly a call-matching service — the actual diagnosis, repair, and installation work is handled by the independent local provider you're connected with.
Are the electricians I'm connected with licensed?
Licensing requirements for electrical work vary by state, and most states require a licensed electrician for anything beyond simple fixture swaps — this matters for both safety and code compliance. Ask the provider directly about their licensing and insurance before work begins.
