Panels, Circuits and Electrical Capacity near Stafford Lake Park
Most electrical projects begin with the panel and the circuits behind it, so that is where we start.
Older electrical panels may not have the capacity to support today's appliances, EV chargers and heat pumps, but an older panel is not automatically a safety problem. When the question is whether you need a panel upgrade, we confirm with a load calculation instead of a guess, and we explain the code rule behind the recommendation. You hear plainly whether your panel is a capacity issue or a real safety issue, and if a specific breaker is the actual problem rather than the whole panel, we say that too.
A panel replacement starts with identifying what you actually have: the panel's brand and its condition, before anything is quoted. From there the steps are straightforward. We file the required permit, schedule a short, coordinated disconnect at the meter, replace the panel, and test it before and after the swap so you can see the difference. You finish with paperwork suitable for insurance or a home sale. Replacement is commonly done at the same amperage, and sometimes it is paired with an increase in capacity.
Generators, Solar and Backup Power near Stafford Lake Park
When the power goes out, the right backup plan depends on what you need to keep running and for how long.
Standby generator projects go wrong when the fuel type or cooling technology is wrong: the result can be a generator that is undersized for your actual fuel source. That is why the gas service check comes before the purchase, and why commissioning means testing the whole system under real load to confirm it performs as rated.
Lighting Installation near Stafford Lake Park
Lighting is the upgrade where the difference shows right away, indoors and out.
The real skill in recessed lighting is spacing and fixture count, not the wiring. Established formulas determine how far apart fixtures should be and how many you actually need, and getting it wrong leaves dark gaps or an overly bright, uneven room. We measure the room and ceiling height, calculate spacing and wall offset, recommend the right size, cut, wire and mount each housing, and test for even coverage, including any dimmer controls.
Remodels, Rewiring and New Construction near Stafford Lake Park
Bigger projects change the electrical system, so the wiring is planned alongside the rest of the work.
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.
Getting Started near Stafford Lake Park
Getting started is simple. Every Bright Right estimate comes with a defined scope and a real price before any work begins, in writing and explained in plain language. Call (707) 791-5552 and describe the job, the question or what you want a second opinion on, and we will tell you what to expect before we arrive.
New circuits and 240-volt outlets
We ask what is actually being plugged in, check your panel's capacity before quoting, and put the scope and price in writing before work begins.
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.
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.

“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!”

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.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
Panel work, new circuits and remodel wiring need a permit, and we file the required permit as standard before work begins. We coordinate the process so any power outage is targeted to hours rather than days.
What backup power equipment do you install?
We install standby generators, critical-load panels, portable-generator inlets, automatic transfer switches and whole-house surge protection, and we also handle solar and battery storage.
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.
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.

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.
