04 ─────── The problem
Tired of Electricians Who Up-Sell Instead of Fix?
You called for one thing and got a pitch for five. Across Sonoma County the most common complaint isn't bad wiring — it's the technician who shows up as a salesman, quotes a vague verbal number, then pads the invoice with work you never needed. Bright Right does the opposite. You get a written scope and a firm price before we start, in plain language, from the licensed contractor who will actually do the work. If something is genuinely unsafe, we say so directly; if it can wait, we tell you that too — even when it costs us the sale. Every permitted job is pulled and inspected, and we coordinate the PG&E disconnect and reconnect so your power is off for hours, not days.

About Bright Right Electric
Bright Right Electric is a family-owned electrical contractor serving Rohnert Park and greater Sonoma County, built on more than twenty years of hands-on trade experience. The company is led by Rich, a licensed electrician holding California contractor license CSLB #1156335. We're not a franchise and not a private-equity roll-up running calls out of an answering service in another state — when you call, you reach the people who do the work and who are accountable for how it turns out. That's why homeowners trust us with everything from a dead outlet to wiring a custom home from the ground up: panel, EV charger, generator, solar, battery, and lighting, all under a single license, so there's no finger-pointing between trades and one permit process instead of three. Based at 1150 Holly Ave, we reach Cotati, Penngrove, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and Sebastopol quickly, with the rest of Sonoma, Marin, and Napa on our regular route.

What Your Rohnert Park Neighbors Say
“This is the most professional company I have ever worked with. I am a difficult person and hard to please (I have really high standards (as a retired science teacher) and I am skeptical of workmen and I'm a perfectionist!). Bright Right is currently working on the 3rd job I have hired them for - everything has gone smoothly, no stress at all!!! They are so friendly and so courteous. Rick and Dustin are an effective team with their two unique personalities - both very upbeat, serious, and kind. They explain everything in detail and answer all my questions (I am hyper-concerned about my property), and they are basically experienced, conscientious electricians you can trust.”

“Bright Right did the electrical for our kitchen remodel and we couldn’t be happier, we have since then added an EV with them and they were as good as the first time. Highly recommend!”

Serving Rohnert
Park & the North Bay
Bright Right Electric is based in Rohnert Park and covers all of Sonoma County from a single local shop. Close to home we work throughout Rohnert Park — the lettered sections, the University District around Sonoma State University and the Green Music Center, and the businesses along the Commerce Boulevard and Redwood Drive corridors — then out to neighboring Cotati, Penngrove, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Windsor, Healdsburg, Sonoma, and Cloverdale. Across the county line in Marin we serve San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, Sausalito, and Larkspur, and up in the Napa Valley we handle projects in Napa, American Canyon, Yountville, St. Helena, and Calistoga. If you don't see your town, call us anyway — we cover more ground than the list suggests, and we'd rather tell you yes or no in thirty seconds than have you keep searching.

Electrical Panel Upgrades in Rohnert Park
Replacing an undersized or obsolete panel is the most common job we perform in Rohnert Park, and it's the one that unlocks everything else. If your home still runs original 100-amp service, a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, or a Zinsco panel, you're working with equipment engineered for a much smaller electrical load — and, in the case of those two brands, with a documented history of breakers that fail to trip. Upgrading to 200-amp service makes EV charging, battery backup, heat pumps, and modern appliance loads possible without constantly tripping breakers. We size the new service to what your household actually needs, pull the permit, coordinate the PG&E disconnect and reconnect, and meet the inspector for final sign-off.
EV Charger Installation in Sonoma County
Bright Right installs Level 2 home charging sized to your vehicle and, just as importantly, to your panel's actual available capacity. We run the dedicated 240-volt circuit, mount and commission the charger, and handle the permit — installing Tesla Wall Connectors, universal J1772 and NACS units, and hardwired or plug-in setups across Rohnert Park, Petaluma, and Santa Rosa. The detail most homeowners don't hear until it's too late is that many Sonoma County panels can't support a Level 2 charger without a service upgrade first, so we run a load calculation before you buy equipment, not after. We can also pre-wire a second circuit if a second EV is anywhere in your future.
Standby Generators & Backup Power
Public safety power shutoffs are a fact of life in Sonoma County, and so are winter storms that take lines down in the hills. We install whole-house standby generators with automatic transfer switches that pick up the house within seconds of an outage, wire inlets and manual transfer switches for portable generators, and add whole-house surge protection so your equipment isn't damaged when the utility comes back online. We'll also tell you honestly which tier makes sense — not every home in Cotati or Penngrove needs a whole-house unit when a critical-loads panel that keeps the refrigerator, well pump, internet, and a few circuits alive costs a fraction as much.
Solar & Battery Systems
We handle new photovoltaic installation, battery storage, system additions, and remove-and-replace work when a roof needs attention or a system has failed — plus service on existing arrays that aren't producing what they should. If you inherited a solar system with the house and nobody can tell you how it's wired or whether it's still under warranty, we can assess it and give you a clear picture. Battery storage in particular has changed the math for Sonoma County homeowners: between shifting utility rate structures under NEM 3.0 and the frequency of outages, a battery paired with existing solar is often a better investment than adding more panels.
Interior & Exterior Lighting
Recessed and can lighting, full LED retrofits, under-cabinet lighting, dimmer and smart-switch installation, fixture and chandelier hanging, landscape lighting, and security and motion-sensor lighting for homes across Rohnert Park and the University District. On the commercial side we handle lighting retrofits for offices, retail spaces, and warehouses along the Commerce Boulevard corridor, including the fixture and control changes that come with California Title 24 compliance. Lighting is one of the few electrical upgrades where the difference is immediately visible, and it's frequently the cheapest way to make a dated room feel finished.
Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair
Breakers that trip for no obvious reason, circuits that go dead, lights that flicker when the dryer starts, outlets that no longer hold a plug, GFCIs that won't reset, a faint burning smell you can't locate. These are the calls where experience shows. We trace a fault to its real source instead of swapping parts and billing for guesses, which is why our repairs hold and why we get called in behind other contractors who couldn't find the problem. In older Sonoma County homes the cause is often a failing backstab connection, a corroded neutral, a rodent-damaged run in a crawlspace, or a decades-old junction box buried behind drywall.
Custom Homes & New Construction
Full electrical for ground-up residential builds, major remodels, and additions throughout Sonoma, Marin, and Napa County — load calculations and plan review, service and meter setup, rough-in, trim, and final inspection. We work with general contractors, designers, and owner-builders, and we're comfortable on high-end custom projects near Sonoma State University where the lighting design, low-voltage layout, and smart controls all have to be coordinated before a single wire goes in. Getting the details right at rough-in is what keeps a home safe and functional for the next forty years — and it's far cheaper than fixing it after the drywall is up.
Commercial Electrical & Tenant Improvement
Service upgrades, panel and subpanel work, dedicated circuits for equipment, lighting retrofits, EV charging for employee and customer parking, and full tenant-improvement electrical for offices, retail, restaurants, and light industrial space along Redwood Drive and beyond. We understand a commercial job runs on someone else's schedule, so we work around business hours when the scope requires it. From a single dedicated circuit to a complete build-out, you get one licensed contractor coordinating permits, PG&E, and inspection — with clear pricing and a clean, code-compliant result.
