Whole-Home Surge Protection in Manteca, CA
One surge — from the grid, a nearby strike, or your own big motors — can wipe out your electronics, EV charger, heat pump and smart panel. A whole-home surge protective device (SPD) at the panel is now NEC 230.67 code on service upgrades, and cheap insurance for an electrified home.

- Required by NEC 230.67 on new/upgraded services

Permits & your utility in Manteca
In Manteca, electric service is Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and building permits are issued by City of Manteca. We pull the permit on every surge protection, coordinate the service and meter to PG&E's Electric & Gas Service Requirements (Greenbook, TD-7001M), and pass inspection — so it's safe, legal, and protects your home's value.
Manteca note: SSJID has a court-validated effort to take over PG&E electric here — re-verify periodically.

surge protection in Manteca — FAQ
Do I really need whole-home surge protection in Manteca?+
If you've added — or plan to add — an EV charger, heat pump, solar, or a smart panel, yes. Those are exactly the loads a surge destroys, and NEC 230.67 now requires an SPD on new and upgraded services. It's a small add that protects thousands in equipment.
Isn't a power strip enough?+
No. A plug-in strip only protects what's plugged into it, and not from the biggest surges coming in on your service. A panel-mounted SPD clamps the surge at the source, protecting your whole home — hardwired loads included. We often layer both.
