Sonoma County
The same person you call is the one who shows up
We started this company because the North Bay needed an electrician who actually reads each home, from decades-old houses that need careful rewiring to newer ones running EV chargers and smart panels. We built our name on how well the work holds up, not on how much of it we churn out.

Electrical work done the way it should be: diagnosed, not guessed
Sonoma Sun Electric is an owner-operated electrical contractor based in Santa Rosa, serving homeowners and businesses across the North Bay. For more than a decade we have wired, repaired, and modernized the homes of this region, and we have grown almost entirely on referrals, the kind you only earn by doing the work right and standing behind it.
What separates us is how we approach a problem. When a breaker keeps tripping or a circuit goes dead, most outfits start swapping parts and billing for the guesses. We do the opposite. We put a meter on it, trace the fault to its actual source, and fix that, which is why fewer of our jobs ever come back and why other electricians around the county send us the calls they cannot crack. That same care shows up on the big projects too, from a full panel replacement to wiring a new build from the studs out, where getting the details right the first time is what keeps a home safe for decades.
Full-service electrical for homes and businesses
Our work covers the whole range. We handle panel upgrades and panel replacements, EV charger installation, standby generators with automatic transfer switches, LED and recessed lighting, certified Lutron smart lighting, and everyday repairs and troubleshooting. Whether the job is a single dead outlet or rewiring a home during a remodel, you get the same licensed hands and the same standard of finish.
Ready for the way the North Bay lives now
Homes here ask more of their electrical systems every year, between EV chargers, heat pumps, battery backup, and the reality of public-safety power shutoffs. We plan and wire for that, future-proofing panels, pre-wiring for backup power and solar, and tying smart controls together so a home is set up for what is coming, not just what it needed a decade ago.
Owner-operated, licensed, and local
When you call Sonoma Sun Electric, the person who answers is the one who shows up, looks at the work, quotes it, and performs it. We are CA licensed, fully insured, and bonded, with an A+ BBB rating, and we offer discounts for veterans and seniors. We serve Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Healdsburg, Napa, San Rafael, and the rest of the North Bay from our shop on Frederick Street. The first visit to find out what you need is always free, so call (707) 684-0024 and talk to the owner directly.
A straight answer, every time
We know electrical work is not something most people enjoy paying for, so we make it as painless as we can. We explain what is going on in plain language, lay out your options, and tell you exactly what a job will cost before any work starts, with no upsell and no surprises on the invoice. If something is genuinely urgent or unsafe, we will say so; if it can wait, we will tell you that too. That honesty is the whole reason customers across Sonoma, Marin, Napa, and Solano counties keep our number and pass it along to their neighbors.
