About Us

Messner Electric, Inc. began in 1981 when Tony Messner started the company, working from his garage. Today we are a thriving company owned and operated by Andrew Messner, Tony’s son. Andrew began wiring by his father’s side as a boy and later graduated from Wadena Technical College with a Construction Electrician degree. He began working full-time for Messner Electric in 1998. As a family business, it was a special transition for our company when Tony retired in March 2023, just 2 months before Andrew’s son, Cody, graduated with his AAS degree in Mechatronics from Alexandria Technical College and returned to work in the company. Having studied Programmable Logic Controllers, he is now our PLC programming specialist.

Testimonials

The City of Hancock has been fortunate to work with Messner Electric in many capacities.  Messner Electric was helping the city when the original Fire Hall/Community Center was constructed and we are lucky enough that 30-plus years later Messner Electric will be doing the electrical work again on our Fire Hall/Community Center update.  Messner Electric is always quick to respond if it may be a small or big request.  They continue to provide trustworthy tradesmanship allowing us to feel confident and comfortable working alongside of them.

Messner Electric did a terrific job taking care of the 6 different projects that I put together for the City of Starbuck. The work was taken care of quickly and the invoicing was what I needed to process the rebates. Thanks for helping Starbuck retrofit and let me know if you have any other Xcel customers with older light that I can help.
