Sonoma County businesses, wineries, restaurants, and industrial facilities trust Firebrand Electric for professional commercial electrical work. We understand the unique demands of commercial projects — tight schedules, complex power requirements, code compliance, and the need to minimize business disruption. Whether you operate a tasting room on the Healdsburg plaza, a restaurant in downtown Petaluma, or a manufacturing facility in Santa Rosa, our commercial team delivers reliable electrical solutions on time and on budget.
Commercial electrical work is our bread and butter. We handle tenant improvements, new construction, build-outs, service upgrades, and ongoing maintenance for businesses of all sizes across Sonoma County. Our electricians hold current certifications and understand the specific electrical code requirements that apply to commercial occupancies, food service establishments, assembly spaces, and hazardous locations.
Wine production demands reliable, properly designed electrical systems. Sonoma County is home to over 400 wineries, and we have worked in dozens of them — from boutique operations along Westside Road to large production facilities in the Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek appellations. Our winery electrical expertise includes three-phase power distribution for crushers, presses, pumps, and bottling lines, tasting room lighting with scene control and dimming for event flexibility, temperature-controlled barrel storage areas with dedicated HVAC circuits, outdoor lighting for evening events and vineyard operations, and refrigeration circuits for temperature-sensitive wine storage.
We understand the seasonal nature of winery operations and work around harvest schedules whenever possible. During crush, your electrical system cannot fail. We make sure it does not.
Restaurants require specialized electrical expertise. Sonoma County dining scene is renowned nationwide, and the kitchen and front-of-house electrical systems behind these restaurants need to perform flawlessly every service. Our restaurant electrical work includes commercial kitchen equipment with dedicated circuits and proper voltage, hood systems and fire suppression integration, dining room lighting designed for ambiance and flexibility, outdoor patio heating and lighting for year-round dining, POS system infrastructure and data cabling, walk-in cooler and freezer circuits, and bar equipment and display lighting.
We work with health departments and building officials to ensure all installations meet food service requirements and pass inspection promptly. For restaurant build-outs in historic buildings throughout Petaluma, Santa Rosa, and Healdsburg, we navigate the challenges of older construction while meeting modern commercial electrical codes.
Professional offices need reliable electrical infrastructure. Tenant improvement projects are a major part of our commercial work, particularly in Santa Rosa business parks, downtown Petaluma office spaces, and Windsor commercial properties. Our TI electrical work includes LED lighting design that meets Title 24 energy requirements, network and data cabling infrastructure, conference room AV integration, break room and kitchenette equipment circuits, emergency egress lighting, cubicle and workstation power, and building management system integration.
Tenant improvement projects require coordination with property managers, adherence to building standards, and minimal disruption to neighboring tenants. We schedule work to avoid interference with operating businesses and keep common areas clean and safe throughout the project.
Industrial facilities demand robust electrical systems designed for heavy loads and continuous operation. We work with manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and production operations throughout Sonoma County, providing three-phase power distribution, motor control centers and variable frequency drives, equipment disconnects and safety switches, industrial lighting with high-bay LED fixtures, backup power systems for critical equipment, and arc flash studies and labeling.
Retail spaces and mixed-use developments require electrical systems that balance customer experience with operational efficiency. Track lighting for merchandise displays, high-output fixture locations, exterior signage circuits, security and surveillance power, and common area lighting in multi-tenant buildings are all part of our retail electrical services.
Medical offices and healthcare facilities have stringent electrical requirements including dedicated circuits for medical equipment, emergency power for life safety systems, isolated ground receptacles for sensitive diagnostic equipment, and compliance with California OSHPD requirements where applicable. We have worked with medical offices, dental practices, and outpatient clinics throughout Santa Rosa and Petaluma.
Reducing energy costs is a priority for Sonoma County businesses. We help commercial clients save money through LED lighting retrofits (see our lighting services), commercial solar installations, EV charging infrastructure for employees and customers, demand management and power factor correction, and building automation integration. PG&E commercial rebate programs can significantly offset the cost of energy efficiency upgrades, and we help you navigate the application process.
Firebrand Electric provides commercial electrical services throughout Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Windsor, Sonoma, Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, and all of Sonoma County. Licensed CA #1063440.
We schedule disruptive work — panel swaps, main feeder changes, and significant circuit additions — for after-hours, weekends, or planned downtime periods. For tenant improvements and build-outs, we coordinate with the general contractor and property manager to stage work when adjacent businesses are least affected. Smaller tasks like adding outlets or installing fixtures can often be done during business hours with minimal disruption.
A typical TI project starts with reviewing the architectural plans and identifying electrical requirements — lighting, power, data, and any specialty circuits. We create an electrical plan, pull permits with the local building department, rough-in wiring and boxes, install panels or sub-panels as needed, set fixtures and devices during trim-out, and schedule inspection. The timeline depends on the space size and complexity but typically runs 2 to 6 weeks for the electrical portion.
Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance programs for commercial properties that include infrared scanning of panels and connections, breaker and switch testing, emergency lighting and exit sign verification, generator testing and maintenance, and general system inspection. Regular maintenance prevents costly emergency repairs and keeps your business compliant with fire marshal and insurance requirements.
Absolutely. PG&E offers significant rebates for commercial LED retrofits and lighting control upgrades. We handle the rebate paperwork, ensure the installation qualifies for maximum incentive amounts, and coordinate with PG&E representatives when needed. Many commercial lighting upgrade projects pay for themselves within 2 to 3 years through energy savings and rebates combined.
We install Kohler and Cummins commercial generators ranging from 20kW for small businesses to 150kW-plus for large facilities. Commercial generator installations include automatic transfer switches, three-phase options when needed, and integration with building management systems. See our generator installation page for more details.
