Lutron Installation
Why Sonoma County Chooses Bright Right
- Local, family-owned electrical contractor based right in Rohnert Park — not a call center routing you to a subcontractor.
- Straightforward answers on system tier, device capacity, and cost, explained before you sign anything.
- CSLB-licensed (#1156335) and available around the clock for anything that comes up along the way.
Lutron Installation
What Is Lutron Installation?
Lutron installation covers designing and installing a whole-home or whole-building lighting control system — scenes, scheduling, shade control, and app-based management across multiple rooms or an entire property. This is different from a single LED-compatible dimmer switch, which we cover on our LED Lighting Retrofits page — Lutron's real control systems coordinate many devices together, not just one switch.
Lutron makes several genuinely different systems for different scales of project, and picking the wrong one can mean re-speccing hardware or hitting a device ceiling partway through. Bright Right Electric installs Lutron systems for homes and businesses across Sonoma County, as a CSLB-licensed electrical contractor (#1156335) based right in Rohnert Park.
Lutron Installation
Our Process
A Lutron installation moves through the same core stages:
01
Needs Assessment
We talk through your device count, room count, and what you want to control — lighting, shades, or both.
02
System Tier Recommendation
We recommend the right Lutron system based on your actual scale, not the most expensive option available.
03
Design & Programming Plan
For whole-home or whole-building systems, we plan scenes, schedules, and any integrations before installation.
04
Installation
We install switches, dimmers, keypads, and any hub or processor hardware the system requires.
05
Scene Configuration
We program scenes and schedules to match how you actually use your space.
06
Walkthrough
We walk you through the app and controls so you're comfortable using the system day to day.

How Much Does Lutron Installation Cost?
Cost depends entirely on which system tier fits your project and how many devices are involved — a single-room Caséta setup costs far less than a whole-home RadioRA 3 system or an architecturally complex HomeWorks QSX installation.
Lutron Installation
The Real Lutron Lineup (It's Changed)
This is worth knowing before you compare options: Lutron's current active residential lineup is Caséta, RadioRA 3, and HomeWorks QSX. An older system called RA2 Select is now legacy — Lutron's current documentation covers upgrading an existing RA2 Select system to RadioRA 3, not new installs of it. If you've seen RA2 Select recommended recently, that advice may already be outdated.
| Caséta | RadioRA 3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Device capacity | Up to 75 devices | Up to 400 devices |
| Installation | DIY-friendly, app-guided setup | Professional installation required |
| Best for | A single room or small home | Whole-home residential or light commercial spaces |
For larger or architecturally complex projects, HomeWorks QSX supports up to 5 daisy-chained processors at 99 devices each — but it requires a Lutron Pro certified installer using dedicated design software.
Lutron Installation
Which System Do You Actually Need?
Lutron doesn't sell one system — it sells a ladder of them, and picking the wrong rung means re-speccing hardware or hitting a device ceiling partway through your project. A rough guide:
- A single room or apartment — Caséta is genuinely designed for this, and you can often install it yourself.
- A whole home or a small business/office — RadioRA 3 is built to bridge exactly this gap.
- A large or architecturally complex property — HomeWorks QSX handles the device counts and customization these projects need.
RadioRA 3: The Bridge Between Residential and Commercial
This matters specifically because this page covers both audiences: RadioRA 3 is genuinely designed to serve whole-home residential projects and light commercial spaces — small offices, retail spaces, and similar businesses — with the same core system. If you're a business wondering whether Lutron is really "a residential thing," this is the answer.
A Word on Wireless Reliability
It's worth being honest about this rather than only pitching the upside: Lutron's Caséta, RadioRA 3, and standard HomeWorks configurations rely on wireless communication between devices, which can be affected by interference in environments with heavy wireless traffic. This is worth discussing upfront for larger installations or device-dense properties, rather than discovering it after the system is in.
For Businesses: Lutron and Commercial Code Compliance
If you're a business in California, this is a genuine bonus worth knowing: Lutron systems can often provide the occupancy sensing and scheduling capability that helps satisfy Title 24's mandatory lighting control requirements for commercial spaces — the same compliance layer covered on our Commercial Lighting Installation page. A Lutron system can be a genuinely practical way to meet that requirement while also getting real day-to-day convenience out of it.

What's Included
Lutron installation often works alongside these related services, each with its own dedicated page for more detail:
LED Lighting Retrofits
LED lighting retrofits covers single, LED-compatible dimmer switches — a smaller-scale option if a full control system isn't what you need yet.
Chandelier Installation
Chandelier installation covers statement fixtures that pair well with Lutron dimming and scene control for both dining ambiance and everyday use.
Fan Installation
Fan installation covers ceiling fans that can be integrated into a Lutron system for combined fan-and-light scene and schedule control.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting covers the placement techniques that a Lutron scene can bring to life — dimming accent fixtures independently from general room lighting.
Lighting Installation
Lighting installation covers our full range of residential lighting services, for homeowners planning a Lutron system as part of a broader lighting project.
Commercial Lighting Installation
Commercial lighting installation covers our full range of business lighting services, including how Lutron systems fit into Title 24 compliance planning.

What Rohnert Park Customers Are Saying
"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."
— Nora Parker · Google Review
"I recently hired Dustin for some electrical work at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He installed a high-quality bathroom fan, finished installing several outlets around the house, and completed a new electrical panel installation. From start to finish, Dustin was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in doing the job right. The new panel installation was the bigger job, and Dustin handled it with real expertise. Everything was organized, labeled, and done to a very high standard, which gave me a lot of confidence in the safety and quality of the work."

"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!"
— Joey Evans · Google Review
"Shout out to Dustin Fildes, the electrician they sent to do the work at my house. You can tell he takes pride in his work. He's a very professional and very friendly. Individual would absolutely recommend Bright Right Electric and specifically Dustin to all my family and friends. Thank you Bright Right"

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Lutron Caseta and RA2 Select?
Caséta is Lutron's entry-level, DIY-friendly system supporting up to 75 devices. RA2 Select was a legacy mid-tier system supporting up to 100 devices, though Lutron's current guidance now directs new installs toward RadioRA 3 instead.
How many devices can a Lutron Caseta system support?
Per Lutron's own documentation, a Caséta system supports up to 75 devices with one Smart Hub and one repeater.
Is Lutron Caseta DIY or does it need a professional installer?
Caséta is specifically designed for consumer self-installation with app-guided setup. RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks QSX are designed for professional installation.
What is Lutron RadioRA 3?
RadioRA 3 is Lutron's current mid-to-high-tier lighting and shade control system, supporting up to 400 devices, positioned as a genuine bridge between whole-home residential use and light commercial applications.
Can Lutron systems be used in commercial buildings?
Yes. RadioRA 3 in particular is designed to serve both residential and light commercial spaces, and Lutron systems can provide occupancy sensing and scheduling that helps satisfy mandatory commercial lighting control requirements.
How much does Lutron installation cost?
It depends entirely on which system tier fits your project — a single-room Caséta setup costs far less than a whole-home RadioRA 3 system or a HomeWorks QSX installation.
What is HomeWorks QSX?
HomeWorks QSX is Lutron's top-tier system, supporting up to 5 daisy-chained processors at 99 devices each, designed for large or architecturally complex properties, and requiring installation by a Lutron Pro certified installer.
Is Lutron RA2 Select still available?
It's now considered legacy. Existing RA2 Select systems still work and can be serviced, but Lutron's current documentation focuses on upgrading to RadioRA 3 rather than new RA2 Select installs.
Caseta vs. HomeWorks — which Lutron system is right for a large home?
For a large or architecturally complex home, HomeWorks QSX is the better fit, supporting far more devices and customization than Caséta, which is designed for a single room or small home.
Do Lutron systems have wireless interference issues?
It's a real possibility in device-dense environments, since these systems rely on wireless communication — worth discussing upfront for larger installations rather than discovering it after the system is in.

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.
