Electrical Work in Napa County
If you need an electrician in Napa County, 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. Bright Right Electric is a family-owned crew. When you call, you reach the people who do the work and who are accountable for how it turns out, not an answering service. If something is genuinely unsafe, we say so directly, and if it can wait, we tell you that too.
Panels, Circuits and Electrical Capacity in Napa County
Capacity comes first. Whether you are adding equipment or fixing a problem, the panel and the circuits behind it set the limits.
Whole-house surge protection guards your equipment against voltage spikes. It can be panel-mounted, mounted outside the panel or built into a breaker-style device, and we tell you honestly which fits. We check whether your panel has room for the required breaker, install it close to the main breaker with a short, clean wire run, and show you how to check that the protection is still working.
EV Charger Installation in Napa County
Once the panel is sorted out, charging at home comes down to a few clear decisions.
Choosing a connector is part of the job. For Tesla owners we help you pick between the standard and the Universal Wall Connector, and if you have or might get a non-Tesla EV, the Universal Wall Connector avoids needing a separate charger down the road. We size the dedicated circuit to the charger's output, commission the charger, connect it to Wi-Fi so it can be managed through the Tesla app, and test it through a full charging cycle.
A dedicated EV charger circuit can also be its own standalone job, for owners who already have a charger or who want the circuit run ahead of buying one. What it costs depends mainly on whether your panel already has room for the new circuit. If the panel is full and a bigger panel project isn't in the budget right now, a load-sharing device is a legitimate option worth discussing.
Remodels, Rewiring and New Construction in Napa County
Remodels, rewiring and new builds all start with a plan for the circuits, the panel and the inspections.
New construction wiring is the complete electrical build-out for a home or building built from the ground up: service and panel design, rough-in wiring and finish trim-out. Before construction begins we plan your service size and panel location to match the building's current and future needs. Rough-in fits into the standard build window, we coordinate directly with your general contractor and the other trades, and every circuit is permitted and inspected at both the rough-in and finish stages.
Commercial and Tenant Electrical Work in Napa County
Businesses and landlords need electrical work scheduled around how the space is used.
Commercial electrical work covers service upgrades, subpanels, dedicated circuits for equipment, lighting retrofits, EV charging installations and rewiring of outdated or undersized wiring in a business, retail space, restaurant, warehouse or multi-tenant building. We plan around your operating hours, scheduling disruptive portions during off-hours or weekends where needed, and work section by section so most of your space stays operational.

Solar and battery systems
A battery stores the solar energy your system already produces and uses it later instead of selling it back for very little.
Standby generators and backup power
Keep essential systems running when the power goes out. We install standby generators, transfer equipment and backup-power solutions designed around your property's specific electrical needs.
Commercial and tenant work
We plan around your operating hours and coordinate with your general contractor so electrical work doesn't become the reason an opening slips.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle emergencies?
We offer priority scheduling for emergencies. Our hours are 7am to 5pm, and 24 hour emergency services are available.
What is a subpanel?
A subpanel is a secondary electrical panel fed from your main panel, commonly added for a garage, workshop, ADU or home addition so that space gets its own dedicated circuits without maxing out the main. It is different from a full panel upgrade.
Do you handle solar and batteries?
Yes. We handle new photovoltaic installation, battery storage, system additions and remove-and-replace work, plus service on existing arrays and straightforward evaluations of inherited systems.
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.
Do you pre-wire for future equipment?
Yes. For new construction and remodels, we tell you what to pre-wire now, such as an EV charger, solar or a generator, while the walls are open, since retrofitting later costs far more.

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.
