Electrical Work in the Atlas Peak area
Tired of electricians who up-sell instead of fix? You called for one thing and got a pitch for five. Our approach for homes and businesses in the Atlas Peak area is straight answers and a clear price up front. Every estimate comes with a defined scope and a real price before any work begins, in writing and explained in plain language, and we recommend the work that fits your property, even when that costs us the sale.
Panels, Circuits and Electrical Capacity in the Atlas Peak area
Most electrical projects begin with the panel and the circuits behind it, so that is where we start.
Aging, failing and high-risk panels are the usual reasons for a panel replacement. The first step is an assessment of the panel's brand and condition, not a guess over the phone. Once you approve the written scope, the permit is filed, the utility disconnect is scheduled as part of the project, and the new panel is installed and tested. Afterward you receive documentation of what was installed, which is useful for insurance or when you sell.
Generators, Solar and Backup Power in the Atlas Peak area
When the power goes out, the right backup plan depends on what you need to keep running and for how long.
Generator installation covers sizing, wiring and connecting a backup power system to your home or business, from a fully automatic whole-property standby system to a simpler portable-generator setup with a safe transfer connection. The goal isn't just having a generator. It is making sure the connection is safe, correctly sized and reliable when you need it. We recommend the system that actually fits the property rather than automatically selling the largest generator.
Troubleshooting, Repairs and Safety Checks in the Atlas Peak area
When something in the existing system is not working, the job is to find the cause before fixing anything.
Circuit breaker repair is a diagnosis first and a repair second: a breaker that trips repeatedly, won't reset or fails outright needs its cause found. We match the replacement to your panel's brand, since mixing brands is a code violation and a real fire risk, and we tell you honestly whether it is a breaker problem or a bigger one. If repeated trips point to the panel itself, the conversation moves to a panel upgrade.
Commercial and Tenant Electrical Work in the Atlas Peak area
Businesses and landlords need electrical work scheduled around how the space is used.
Commercial tenant improvements move fast, and panel and subpanel work can add real time to the schedule. We recommend starting electrical early so it doesn't become the reason an opening slips, assess your actual load instead of guessing, and coordinate with your general contractor and other trades. We also help you work out what is infrastructure-level work and what is tenant-improvement-level work, since that distinction often determines who pays for what.
Commercial lighting installation covers designing and installing fixtures and controls for a business property: offices, retail spaces, warehouses and everything between. We evaluate your space, layout and existing electrical capacity, plan the lighting power density and control documentation needed for your permit application, pull the permit, install fixtures, controls and any required wiring, and coordinate the final inspection. Whether you are building out a new office, upgrading a retail space or lighting a warehouse, that compliance layer is worth planning for from the start.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a panel upgrade to add an EV charger?
The important first step is finding out whether your electrical service has enough capacity. We perform a load calculation before you buy equipment to determine whether your panel can support the charger or whether a service upgrade is needed.
What is the difference between repair and installation?
Electrical repair fixes something already in your system that isn't working correctly, such as a dead outlet or a breaker that won't stay reset. Electrical installation adds something new, such as a circuit, outlets, fixtures or an EV charger.
How do I get an estimate?
Every Bright Right estimate comes with a defined scope and a real price before any work begins, in writing and explained in plain language. For projects where the actual electrical conditions need to be assessed, we provide a site assessment and a written estimate rather than guessing at a number over the phone.
Can you work with my general contractor?
Yes. For remodels and new construction we work directly with your contractor, sync the timeline with other trades, and have every circuit permitted and inspected at both the rough-in and finish stages.
Do I need the largest generator available?
Not necessarily. It depends on your home's existing electrical load. Some homes are better served by a critical-loads panel that keeps essentials such as the refrigerator, a well pump and the internet running. We recommend the system that fits the property rather than automatically selling the largest generator.

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.
