EV Charger Installation near Marin History Museum
Charging an electric vehicle at home is an electrical project first and a charger purchase second.
A home EV charger starts with the electrical system, not the charger. We check your panel's existing capacity and open breaker space with a load calculation before you buy equipment, then help you choose an amperage that suits your vehicle and your driving habits, because the vehicle's onboard charger sets a real limit on how much power it can use. A licensed electrical contractor pulls the permit, and we test the installation before a final inspection confirms it is safe and ready to use.
Generators, Solar and Backup Power near Marin History Museum
When the power goes out, the right backup plan depends on what you need to keep running and for how long.
Standby generators, critical-loads panels, portable-generator inlets, automatic transfer switches and whole-house surge protection are all part of what we install. We explain system type, sizing and cost before you sign anything. For some homes the right answer is a standby system, and for others it is a critical-loads panel that keeps the essentials running, such as the refrigerator, a well pump, internet and selected circuits.
Troubleshooting, Repairs and Safety Checks near Marin History Museum
When something in the existing system is not working, the job is to find the cause before fixing anything.
Circuit breaker repair is a diagnosis first and a repair second: a breaker that trips repeatedly, won't reset or fails outright needs its cause found. We match the replacement to your panel's brand, since mixing brands is a code violation and a real fire risk, and we tell you honestly whether it is a breaker problem or a bigger one. If repeated trips point to the panel itself, the conversation moves to a panel upgrade.
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triggered by a home sale, an inspection report that lists specific issues, an insurance requirement, an older home with outdated wiring or grounding, or a permit for a new upgrade that surfaces other items.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.
Remodels, Rewiring and New Construction near Marin History Museum
Remodels, rewiring and new builds all start with a plan for the circuits, the panel and the inspections.
An electrical remodel is the wiring, circuit and panel work triggered by a kitchen, bathroom, ADU, addition or whole-house renovation. It includes adding dedicated appliance circuits, updating GFCI and AFCI protection, moving or adding outlets and switches, wiring new lighting and sometimes upgrading the panel while the walls are open. We review your remodel plans, give you a straight read on the electrical work actually needed before anything is quoted, and put the scope and price in writing.

“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.
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.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Bright Right Electric is a family-owned, licensed California C-10 electrical contractor, CSLB #1156335, and we are licensed, bonded and insured.
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.
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.
