Historic Sonoma, with its picturesque eight-acre plaza and world-renowned wine country charm, deserves electrical services that respect its heritage while embracing modern technology. Firebrand Electric has been serving Sonoma’s residential and commercial properties for over three decades, from the historic adobes surrounding the plaza to the hillside estates overlooking vineyards, from boutique hotels on Spain Street to family wineries throughout the valley.

As a locally-owned Sonoma County electrical contractor, we appreciate what makes this community special. Our work throughout Sonoma reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship, code compliance, and respect for the architectural character that defines this historic city.

Fire Rebuild Experience

While Sonoma itself was largely spared in the October 2017 fires, many Sonoma residents own properties throughout the county that were affected. Firebrand Electric has worked extensively on fire rebuild projects across Sonoma County, helping families restore their electrical systems to meet current code requirements.

Our experience navigating the complex rebuild process—coordinating with insurance adjusters, meeting updated electrical codes, and working within the challenging timelines rebuild clients face—makes us a trusted partner for fire recovery electrical work.

Additionally, we’ve helped numerous Sonoma properties prepare for PSPS shutoffs with backup generator systems and solar-plus-battery installations. For wineries and businesses that can’t afford power interruptions, our emergency power solutions provide critical protection for equipment, inventory, and operations.

Living and working in Sonoma County through these challenges has deepened our commitment to helping our community build resilience against future disasters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on historic properties near Sonoma Plaza?

Yes. We have extensive experience with electrical work in historic Sonoma buildings including properties near the plaza, along Spain Street, and in the older residential neighborhoods. We understand how to run new wiring through plaster walls and older construction while respecting the architectural character of these buildings.

Can you install electrical systems for wine production facilities in Sonoma?

Absolutely. We install three-phase power distribution, production equipment circuits, tasting room lighting with dimming controls, barrel room climate control wiring, and outdoor event lighting for Sonoma Valley wineries. We work around harvest schedules and understand the seasonal demands of wine production.

What generator options are best for Sonoma homes without natural gas?

Many Sonoma properties, particularly those in rural areas and on hillsides east of town, do not have natural gas service. We recommend propane-fueled Kohler or Cummins generators with a 500-gallon or larger propane tank. This provides enough fuel for extended PSPS events that can last several days during fire season.

Do you handle electrical permits with the City of Sonoma?

Yes. We pull all required electrical permits through the City of Sonoma building department for work within city limits, and through Sonoma County for unincorporated areas in the Sonoma Valley. Permitting and inspection are included in our service.
