Electrical Work in Rohnert Park
We work throughout Rohnert Park, including the lettered sections, the University District around Sonoma State and the Green Music Center, and businesses along Commerce Boulevard and Redwood Drive. Typical calls are panel and service upgrades, EV charger installs (Level 2 Tesla, J1772 and NACS), dedicated circuits, lighting and troubleshooting.
Panel work needs a permit through the City of Rohnert Park building division; we handle it along with the PG&E coordination. Power is delivered by PG&E and generated by Sonoma Clean Power by default. Our office is at 1150 Holly Ave, Rohnert Park, CA 94928.
Getting a Rohnert Park home ready for an EV
The most common project we do at home is an EV charger. The process is simple: we run a load calculation on your existing service, choose the right circuit size for your car and charger, run a dedicated 240-volt circuit, mount and commission the charger, and handle the permit. We install Level 2 chargers including Tesla, J1772 and NACS setups, hardwired or plug-in. If your panel is full or too small, we'll say so up front and price a subpanel or upgrade as a separate option.
The 100-amp to 200-amp question
Homes in this area were often built with 100-amp service. That was plenty when the biggest loads were a dryer and a range. Add an EV charger, a heat pump, or a home addition and it can run out of room. A service upgrade to 200 amps gives you headroom, and it's often cheaper to do once than to patch repeatedly. Most residential panel upgrades in Sonoma County run roughly $2,500–$6,500, and we give you an itemized written estimate after a site visit rather than a phone guess.
What happens on panel-swap day
We schedule the utility disconnect with PG&E, replace the panel and service equipment, reconnect and label every circuit, and meet the inspector for final sign-off. The actual outage is targeted to hours, not days.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
1150 Holly Ave, Rohnert Park, CA 94928.
Do I need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger?
Not necessarily. We do a load calculation first to see whether your existing service has enough capacity.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Call (707) 791-5552 or book online.
How do I know if I need a 200-amp panel?
If you plan to add an EV charger, heat pump, induction range, hot tub or an addition, or your current panel is full, a load calculation will show whether 100 amps is still enough. We do that for free as part of the estimate.
What happens during a panel swap?
We coordinate the PG&E disconnect, replace the panel, reconnect, label the circuits and meet the inspector. Your power is typically off for hours, not days.

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.
