Electrical Work in the Petaluma Marina area of Petaluma
Panel, EV charger, generator, solar, battery and lighting work all come under a single license, so there is no finger-pointing between trades and one permit process instead of three. That is why homeowners and businesses in the Petaluma Marina area of Petaluma call us for everything from a dead outlet to wiring a custom home from the ground up. Whether you are upgrading an older home, adding modern equipment or chasing a problem that won't go away, we have the experience to handle the job properly.
Panels, Circuits and Electrical Capacity in the Petaluma Marina area of Petaluma
Capacity comes first. Whether you are adding equipment or fixing a problem, the panel and the circuits behind it set the limits.
A dedicated circuit provides reliable power to an appliance or piece of equipment while reducing the risk of overloads. We work from the actual appliance's requirements instead of a guess, give you a written estimate matched to that appliance, file the permit as standard, and leave you with a record of what was installed and where.
A straightforward 240-volt outlet install is usually a few hours. We test the outlet before calling the job done and coordinate an inspection whenever a permit was pulled. A brand-new circuit for an EV charger or hot tub, especially a long run from the panel or one that needs more panel capacity, runs toward the higher end, and a short walkthrough is the fastest way to get an exact number.
Generators, Solar and Backup Power in the Petaluma Marina area of Petaluma
When the power goes out, the right backup plan depends on what you need to keep running and for how long.
A solar battery stores the solar energy your system already produces and uses it later, including during expensive evening peak hours, instead of selling it back for very little. We review your existing solar, your usage patterns and your backup goals, help you choose between whole-home and essential-circuits coverage, design the battery, the backup gateway and any needed panel work, and test the backup switchover under real conditions. You also learn how to monitor and configure the battery's charge and discharge settings.
Remodels, Rewiring and New Construction in the Petaluma Marina area of Petaluma
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 the Petaluma Marina area of Petaluma
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.

“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
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 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.
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 is an electrical code correction?
It is work that brings specific parts of your electrical system up to current code, fixing the particular items flagged rather than rewiring the whole house. It is most often triggered by a home sale, an inspection report or an insurance requirement.
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.

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.
