NETA is pleased to welcome Mid-City Electric/Technologies as a Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Company (QEMC). The company achieved certification by participating in NETA’s new Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Company (QEMC) and Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Worker (QEMW) programs, launched in 2024 to respond to new requirements for electrical equipment maintenance based on NFPA 70B–2023®, Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance®. The new requirements make proper electrical equipment maintenance mandatory and enforceable.
Mid-City Electric offers comprehensive electrical and tele-data service, specializing in new construction and service work across commercial, healthcare, data center, and industrial markets. Mid-City has one of the largest electrical service departments in Columbus, with more than 20 estimators and project managers and over 600 field staff.
Headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, Mid-City serves Columbus and the surrounding area and is looking to expand. “I believe recognition as a QEMC will become a benchmark that customers actively seek for preventative maintenance—just as they rely on NETA-certified contractors for their testing needs,” says Service Operations Manager Chris Lang. “This certification reinforces our core value of being customer-focused,” he continues. “By proactively pursuing and earning this certification early in its introduction to the market, we demonstrate our commitment to prioritizing our customers’ best interests and safety above all else. We take pride in delivering exceptional service and ensuring our customers’ facilities are cared for by the most highly trained technicians in the industry.”
A trusted partner in the Central Ohio community, Mid-City has been a family-owned business for more than 65 years and has recently transitioned to an employee-owned company. Treating people like family is a principle they live out every day with their employees and customers, and the company is often rewarded for its values. In 2025, CEO Brian Dew was honored with a Fellowship in the Academy of Electrical Contracting at the 2025 NECA convention. He also received the 2025 Builder’s Exchange Cornerstone Award. Formerly known as the Man of the Year award, this honor originated in 1954 and was developed to recognize a prominent industry professional who exemplifies outstanding service and commitment to the local construction community. Mid-City’s James Dew won this award in 2006.
“NETA is proud to recognize Mid-City Electric/Technologies as a new NETA Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Company (QEMC),” says Chasen Tedder, NETA QEMC and QEMW Committee Chair. “NETA QEMC-recognized service providers are ensuring their Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Workers (QEMWs) align with new NFPA 70B requirements and lead the way in meeting the growing demand for electrical power system maintenance services.”
