EV Charger Installation near Novato History Museum
Charging an electric vehicle at home is an electrical project first and a charger purchase second.
An EV charger circuit is the electrical backbone underneath every home charger. Get the sizing right and the charger just works; get it wrong and you end up with a tripped breaker, a hot wire or a charger that quietly throttles itself down. We check capacity and open breaker space, run the wire, install and label the correctly rated breaker, and test for proper voltage, grounding and breaker operation. We also tell you honestly if a smaller fix, such as a subpanel instead of a full upgrade, could work.
Lighting Installation near Novato History Museum
Lighting is the upgrade where the difference shows right away, indoors and out.
For recessed lighting, we won't oversell you on fixture count, since over-installing is a common mistake we help you avoid. Room measurements come first, then the spacing calculation, then the layout and installation, and a final walkthrough confirms that everything looks and works correctly.
Troubleshooting, Repairs and Safety Checks near Novato History Museum
When something in the existing system is not working, the job is to find the cause before fixing anything.
Electrical troubleshooting starts with symptoms: tripping breakers, dead circuits, lights that flicker when the dryer starts, outlets that no longer hold a plug, GFCIs that won't reset and a faint burning smell are all worth tracing. We trace a fault to its real source instead of swapping parts and billing for guesses. You describe the symptoms, we explain any diagnostic fee up front, and we use circuit tracers, thermal imaging and systematic circuit isolation, checking whether the issue is inside your property or, in some cases, on the utility's side of the connection.
Commercial and Tenant Electrical Work near Novato History Museum
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 work also includes repair, motion sensor lighting, flood lights, landscape lighting and pendant lighting for offices, retail spaces and restaurants. Larger projects share permitting and installation costs across more fixtures, and we work around your business hours to keep disruptions to a minimum.

If the work turns into something bigger, you get a price in writing before we do anything beyond the initial visit, with no surprise charges on the invoice.
What does an electrical safety inspection include?
We review the panel, wiring, outlets, switches, grounding and safety devices, and test that GFCI and AFCI protection actually works. You receive a written, prioritized report with no pressure into unnecessary work.
What lighting work do you do?
Recessed, landscape, security and accent lighting, chandeliers and pendants, fans, LED retrofits and smart lighting controls, for homes and for businesses.

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.
