Electrical work contracted under C K ELECTRIC · CSLB Lic. #354550 (C-10) · Farmer Works Electric license in process

Shane Farmer, and the license behind the work

C.K. is a person.

Clyde Kent Farmer took out California electrical license #354550 in March of 1978. He’s the C.K. in C K ELECTRIC. 48 years later that license is still current, still active, and still his.

Shane grew up around the trade. Clyde always wanted more than a license: a family company he could hand to the next generation. Today Shane runs the work, residential and commercial: service upgrades, panels, EV chargers, solar-ready work, remodels and the troubleshooting nobody else wanted. His own words are below.

Farmer Works Electric is the company Shane is building, and it is in the process of getting its own contractor’s license. Until that license is issued, electrical work is contracted under C K ELECTRIC, CSLB #354550, Clyde’s license since 1978. #354550 is C K ELECTRIC’s license, not a Farmer Works license.

That is the whole pitch. A small family outfit, work contracted under a license that has been active for 48 straight years, and a phone that gets answered by the guy who is going to be standing in your garage.

In Shane’s words

Why this is a family business.

Electrical work has always been part of my life. My dad has been an electrician for 50 years, so I grew up around the trade, hearing about the jobs, seeing the work that went into them, and learning from someone who built his reputation through decades of hard work and experience.

For my dad, though, it was never just about being an electrician. He always had the dream of building a family company, something he could eventually share with his family and pass down to the next generation.

Growing up, I watched how seriously he took his work. He taught me that doing a job right matters, that your word matters, and that the way you treat people is just as important as the work you leave behind. Eventually, what started as his trade became something I wanted to be part of too.

I got into electrical because I wanted to continue what my dad started, but also help turn that dream of his into something bigger: a true family business.

Today, that’s what makes CK Electric special to us. There are 50 years of experience behind what we do, but there’s also a family behind it. We’re local, we care about the community we work in, and when someone trusts us with their home or business, we take that personally.

My dad spent 50 years building the foundation. Now I get to help carry it forward, and I think that’s pretty cool.
