Blasy Electric has worked out of Midland since 1965, serving the city’s homes, churches, shops and plants. Midland grew with Dow, and its neighborhoods show it: a historic core around downtown and Main Street, then street after street of homes built from the 1940s through the 1970s as the company and the city expanded.
Midland also has a mid-century character all its own, thanks to architect Alden B. Dow, whose homes and their followers’ designs dot the city. Low, wide, flat-roofed houses with long runs, built-in lighting and few spare circuits are lovely to live in and particular to wire. Local experience with these homes makes for a faster, cleaner job.
On the commercial side, Midland’s labs, clinics, manufacturing plants, churches and sports facilities are exactly the kind of customers Blasy’s commercial service and contracting divisions were built for.

What we see in Midland buildings
Mid-century panels at their limit
Homes from the 1950s to the 1970s were wired for a different era. Adding air conditioning, a kitchen remodel or an EV charger often means updating the breaker panel.
Flat-roof and modernist homes
Long, low houses with little attic space make new runs harder. Careful planning keeps walls and ceilings intact.
Flood-damaged equipment
After the May 2020 flood on the Tittabawassee, panels, outlets and wiring that sat in water had to be evaluated and replaced, and some basements still show it.
Commercial maintenance
Labs, clinics and plants that need recurring maintenance, on-call service and work done to industrial standards.

Your utility
Most homes and businesses in and around Midland are served by Consumers Energy. Your bill tells you for sure, and that is who to call for an outage or a downed line.
Permits

My Midland basement flooded. Is my electrical system safe?
Treat any electrical equipment that has been under water as unsafe until a licensed electrician has evaluated it. Do not turn power back on to a flooded panel or circuits yourself.
Breakers, outlets, switches and some wiring that were submerged generally need to be replaced, not dried out. If the panel or meter area flooded, the utility may need to disconnect and reconnect service.

Yes. Blasy handles commercial service for manufacturing, sports and religious facilities, labs, medical clinics, property management firms and restaurants, plus commercial and industrial contracting including design-build and bid-spec work.
