Company Overview
Ganesh Works serves as both a general and electrical contractor. We take on residential electrical work along with certain commercial assignments. We specialize in energy-saving enhancements, including whole house and ceiling fans, tankless water heaters, PV solar setups, and EV charging stations. We also run a FixIt shop that repairs vacuum cleaners, lamps, and power tools.
Ganesh Works started in 1973 under the name Ganesh Fixit. Initially, we focused on in-shop repairs and home maintenance. We have spent the past 20 years as electrical and general contractors, with a focus on energy-efficient enhancements. Since 1995, our office has been at 1606 Olive Drive, previously a Pacific Bell switching station. Throughout the years, we have gained expertise in tankless water heaters, photovoltaic solar installations, electric vehicle charging stations, and low-energy lighting.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Santiago and Chris have been to our house several times for electrical and plumbing issues. They are always prompt, efficient and reasonably priced. I would recommend them without hesitation. Please note the reviews with Santiago and Chris in them only. I believe the older reviews, which are less flattering, are from a previous owner.

Called Ganesh Works for a estimate. They quickly adjusted me in their schedule even though it was Friday. I was even able to schedule the work, as long as i didn't mind them coming late. I agreed since I needed it to be done quickly.
Day of work, they called and came early and got the job done quickly, neatly, professionally.
Hazzle free, quick and good work.
Recommend their work and their service.

Just had Chris put in our pendant light. Everything was great! I called and they came right out to give an estimate, and less than 2 weeks later, I had my pendant light put in. Everything went super smooth and the price was good. Would highly recommend.

I needed a relatively small project done in my house. I called 25 different contractors and only 2 even returned my call. Neither of them actually came back with a promised estimate. Luckily. a friend recommended Ganesh Works. they came up right away and gave me an estimate, then showed up on time when they said they would. They worked as a team with someone doing the carpentry, electrical, plaster, plumbing, flooring and painting. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than we had realized but they did an outstanding job.
When it was all done, Veronica, the office manager actually came to my house to help me fill out the paperwork for the City of Davis inspection. Great experience.

Chris C. and his crew arrived at 8 am to begin work. They installed an electric tank-less water heater. The job included adding 240 volts to a bathroom wall. They did a beautiful job, left no trace of a mess behind.
I had three contractors no show on me. It was wonderful having Ganesh ready to work. They were very helpful over the phone. The best part......the job was done for less than the estimate.
I highly recommended Chris C. and his crew.

We've used Ganesh for three jobs in the last four years (install reverse osmosis, install whole house fan, replace faucet), and have been satisfied with regard to price and performance. They came when promised, and left the place clean.

I have used Ganesh for several projects. They have all been done well, they provided a permit if needed on any work. Anytime they were expected they promptly arrived, if any parts, pieces etc were needed they provided. All employees are very knowledgeable and polite, we particularly ask for Chris. I will continue to use Ganesh for any job they can provide, happily,

I used Ganesh Works 20 years ago to install ceiling fans in my home where there was no electrical outlet. The work was very good. I have just called to set up an appointment for him to put a ceiling fan in my new home. I'm surprised by these poor reviews. I am going to use him anyway.

Hired Ganesh to put in a whole house fan -- Bill did so, but did not obtain permit, which I discovered when the next year, we were selling our home. He refused to do it, and it turned out, there was additional work that needed to be done in the attic to the fan housing before the permit could be issued. We had to hire someone else to finish the work. I would never hire them again. They might work well with local contractors, but not with individual clients.

I have used them for lots of stuff around the house. They show up on time, call when there is an issue and reasonable costs. Never had a problem with them. Installed fan, EV charger, and a few other things around the house.
