Electrical Work near Old Courthouse Square
Tired of electricians who up-sell instead of fix? You called for one thing and got a pitch for five. Our approach for homes and businesses near Old Courthouse Square is straight answers and a clear price up front. Every estimate comes with a defined scope and a real price before any work begins, in writing and explained in plain language, and we recommend the work that fits your property, even when that costs us the sale.
This page is for homes and businesses near Old Courthouse Square. Bright Right Electric is an independent electrician and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Old Courthouse Square.
EV Charger Installation near Old Courthouse Square
Charging an electric vehicle at home is an electrical project first and a charger purchase second.
The important first step for charging at home is finding out whether your electrical service has enough capacity. We run a load calculation to see whether your panel can support a Level 2 charger or whether a service upgrade is needed, and the installation includes the dedicated circuit and appropriate sizing. We size the charger to your specific vehicle, not just the maximum available, and we give you real numbers on charging speed and cost instead of marketing language.
A dedicated EV charger circuit can also be its own standalone job, for owners who already have a charger or who want the circuit run ahead of buying one. What it costs depends mainly on whether your panel already has room for the new circuit. If the panel is full and a bigger panel project isn't in the budget right now, a load-sharing device is a legitimate option worth discussing.
Lighting Installation near Old Courthouse Square
Good lighting depends on layout, circuits and controls as much as on the fixtures.
Landscape lighting, from path lights to tree uplights and accent fixtures, only works well when the system behind it is sized correctly. We explain voltage drop honestly so the lighting stays bright everywhere, run direct-burial cable, mount the transformer, install and aim each fixture, and walk you through any timer or photocell controls.
Troubleshooting, Repairs and Safety Checks near Old Courthouse Square
When something in the existing system is not working, the job is to find the cause before fixing anything.
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.
Remodels, Rewiring and New Construction near Old Courthouse Square
Remodels, rewiring and new builds all start with a plan for the circuits, the panel and the inspections.
Remodel electrical work happens in stages. Rough-in wiring goes in while the walls are open and is inspected before drywall goes up, and finish electrical, the outlets, switches, fixtures and panels, follows after drywall and paint. We work directly with your contractor and sync the timeline with other trades. If we find aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube or an undersized panel once the walls are open, we explain it and the cost before doing anything.

Lighting installation
Indoor, outdoor, recessed, LED and energy-efficient lighting, expertly installed, from chandeliers and under-cabinet task lighting to landscape lighting and smart lighting controls.
Safety inspections and code corrections
An inspection gives you a written, prioritized report with no pressure into unnecessary work, and our code corrections fix the specific items flagged instead of a full rewire you don't need.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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 if the job turns out bigger than expected?
If the work turns into something bigger, you get a price in writing before we do anything beyond the initial visit, with no surprise charges on the invoice.
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.
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.

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.
