Electrical Work in Ross
If you need an electrician in Ross, 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.
EV Charger Installation in Ross
Once the panel is sorted out, charging at home comes down to a few clear decisions.
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 in Ross
Lighting is the upgrade where the difference shows right away, indoors and out.
Security lighting works best as a whole-property strategy rather than a single bright fixture. We walk the property to identify entry points, blind spots and coverage gaps, map the priority zones, choose fixtures and controls for each, flag landscaping that could undermine the lighting, install and aim each fixture, and test the full layout after dark. Cost depends on how many zones and fixtures your property's layout calls for.
Troubleshooting, Repairs and Safety Checks in Ross
Existing wiring and equipment deserve a careful look before anyone recommends a repair.
Proactive electrical safety inspections are just as valid as ones prompted by a problem. We document findings honestly instead of manufacturing urgency. If something is unsafe, we say so directly, and if it can wait, we tell you that too. An inspection identifies what needs attention, and a code correction is the actual work of fixing it.
A code correction fixes the specific items flagged, not a full rewire you don't need. Corrections are most often triggered by a home sale, an inspection report that lists specific issues, an insurance requirement, an older home with outdated wiring or grounding, or a permit for a new upgrade that surfaces other items. Send us the report or letter, we confirm the items in person and give you a price in writing, and we work permit-first so it doesn't become a last-minute scramble before closing.
Commercial and Tenant Electrical Work in Ross
Businesses and landlords need electrical work scheduled around how the space is used.
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.

“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 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.
Do you do commercial electrical work?
Yes. We handle electrical upgrades for businesses, including service upgrades, subpanels, dedicated equipment circuits, lighting retrofits and EV charging installations for offices, retail spaces and restaurants, and we work around your business hours.
Can you work with my general contractor?
Yes. For remodels and new construction we work directly with your contractor, sync the timeline with other trades, and have every circuit permitted and inspected at both the rough-in and finish stages.
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.
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.

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.
