What That Means for Electrical Work in Midland

Half of Midland's homes were built before 1971, and about three in ten before 1960, while only about 9 percent predate 1940. That makes the typical Midland house a postwar or 1960s and 70s home whose original 100 amp panel and breakers are now 50 years old or more. Those panels are the most common upgrade here, especially once central air, an electric range, a hot tub or an EV charger is added. Most homes heat with natural gas and are on Consumers Energy, and winter ice and wind storms are the main reason homeowners ask about standby generators.

Nearly one in five homes heats with electricity, the second-highest share of the 15 areas on this site after Frankenmuth.
About one in three homes is rented; tenants should report electrical problems to the property owner, who arranges the repair.
Midland is Select Electric's home base, so the whole city is close by.

Common Questions

Does Select Electric serve the city of Midland?

Yes. Select Electric is a family-owned Midland business that has served the city since 1983, for homes and businesses alike. Call (989) 835-3587.

My Midland home still has its original panel from the 1960s or 70s. Should I replace it?

Not automatically, but a panel that age is worth having inspected, especially if breakers trip often, feel warm, or the panel is a brand with a known history of problems. An electrician can check the panel, the service size and your household load and tell you whether repair, replacement or an upgrade to 200 amps makes sense. Don't open the panel yourself.
