Electrical Work near McNears Beach Park
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 area around McNears Beach Park in San Rafael 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 near McNears Beach Park
Most electrical projects begin with the panel and the circuits behind it, so that is where we start.
When the main service itself is the limit, the answer is a service upgrade, and it starts with a load calculation and an assessment of what your property has. Bundling the upgrade with other panel work in one visit saves on permitting costs and cuts down how many times your power gets disconnected.
EV Charger Installation near McNears Beach Park
Once the panel is sorted out, charging at home comes down to a few clear decisions.
Universal EV charger installation gives multi-brand households practical options that don't have to be the most expensive one. We confirm which vehicles you own or expect to own and whether an adapter is needed for full compatibility, size the dedicated circuit to the charger's amperage, install and test the charger through a full charging cycle, and finish with a final inspection that confirms the work is safe and code-compliant.
Troubleshooting, Repairs and Safety Checks near McNears Beach Park
Existing wiring and equipment deserve a careful look before anyone recommends a repair.
Not sure whether you need a breaker repair or a whole panel? We assess it in person and tell you which it is. You describe which breaker is tripping and how often, we explain the service call fee before we arrive, and we diagnose the actual problem instead of guessing and swapping parts.
Commercial and Tenant Electrical Work near McNears Beach Park
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upgrades, subpanels, dedicated circuits for equipment, lighting retrofits, EV charging installations and rewiring of outdated or undersized wiring in a business, retail space, restaurant, warehouse or multi-tenant building.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.
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.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
My home has an older panel brand. Should I worry?
Some older panels are known for breaker-tripping problems. We can inspect the existing equipment and explain your options, and we tell you plainly whether it is a capacity issue or a real safety issue.
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.
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.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Repeated trips can have several possible causes, including faulty connections, damaged wiring, overloaded circuits or other electrical faults. We investigate the electrical system to find the actual source instead of replacing the breaker and hoping the problem disappears.
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.

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.
