Local electrical work
Electrical Work in Healdsburg
One detail sets Healdsburg apart: much of the city gets its electricity from the City of Healdsburg's own electric utility rather than PG&E. That affects how solar, batteries and EV charging connect to the grid, so before we design a system we confirm your utility's requirements. Rural and vineyard parcels around Healdsburg may fall under different rules, so we confirm the utility and permitting jurisdiction first.
Common projects include standby generators and transfer switches for outage protection, and lighting and code corrections for commercial and hospitality spaces. Permits go through the City of Healdsburg or Permit Sonoma, depending on the parcel.
Working with Healdsburg's city-owned electric utility
The City of Healdsburg runs its own publicly owned electric utility, which connects to PG&E's transmission system but sets its own rules for customers. In practice that means interconnection, net metering, rebates and service requirements can differ from what you'd read for PG&E territory. Before we design a solar, battery, EV or panel project, we confirm what your utility requires so nothing gets rejected at the end.
Programs and rebates: check before you buy
The City has offered EV charger rebates and income-based bill discounts through its Smart Living Healdsburg program. Its published information indicated it didn't offer solar or battery installation rebates as of our last check, but programs change, so confirm current offers at smartlivinghealdsburg.org. We'll give you an itemized invoice for any application.
Homes, wineries and hospitality spaces
Healdsburg mixes historic homes near the plaza, newer neighborhoods, vineyard properties and hospitality businesses. That means everything from careful older-home electrical work to lighting, code corrections and dependable power for tasting rooms, restaurants and shops. For rural properties, generators and transfer switches are a common ask.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Healdsburg on PG&E?
Much of the city is served by the City of Healdsburg's electric utility; some outlying parcels may differ. We confirm before quoting.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, both residential and commercial.
Whole-house generator or critical-loads panel?
We recommend what fits your property rather than automatically the largest system. A typical 22 kW whole-house standby generator runs about $9,000–$16,000 installed, and a critical-loads setup can cost less.
Does the City of Healdsburg offer EV charger rebates?
The City's Smart Living Healdsburg program has offered EV charger rebates, with additional support for income-qualified customers. Amounts and eligibility change, so check smartlivinghealdsburg.org, and we can give you the documentation you'll need.
Are solar and net-metering rules different in Healdsburg?
They can be, because the City's electric utility, not PG&E, sets interconnection and net-metering rules for its customers. We confirm the requirements for your address before designing a system.

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.
