About
Operating under TECL #21974 with over 35 years of field experience, Barney's Electric is a licensed and insured commercial electrical contractor serving Plano, TX and the broader Dallas metroplex — including Dallas, Collin, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties. The owner, Barney Messenger, personally oversees every project, giving facility managers and property managers a direct line to the decision-maker on every job. Barney's Electric handles the full spectrum of commercial electrical work relevant to retail centers, office buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, and mixed-use properties throughout the region. Core commercial capabilities include single- and three-phase circuit installation and repair, panelboard and breaker servicing, lighting design and installation including HID and parking lot systems, ballast and lamp replacements, motor controls, and kitchen hood vent circuits — making the firm well-suited for tenant improvement and renovation scopes. For facilities with uptime requirements, Barney's Electric installs and services backup generators and transfer switches, providing an added layer of business continuity planning for property owners and facility teams. EV charging infrastructure is also in scope, with 220V and high-speed EVSE installations available — a growing priority for commercial parking facilities and retail centers across the Dallas metro. The company also performs infrared electrical inspections, a critical diagnostic tool for identifying failing connections, overloaded circuits, and thermal anomalies in commercial panelboards and switchgear before they become costly outages. CSST bonding and grounding, structured network wiring, dedicated computer circuits, surge protection, and code correction work round out the commercial service menu. With 24-hour emergency response available and free estimates offered, Barney's Electric is positioned to support facility managers needing both planned project work and unplanned emergency electrical response across the Plano and greater Dallas area.
