Your name, phone, ZIP code and what’s wrong. It takes about a minute.
An electrician calls you

Wired for South Bend houses
Electrical work here has local rules and local weather. The electricians we work with know both.
Older homes
Many South Bend houses were built before 1950. Knob-and-tube wiring, two-prong outlets and fuse boxes still turn up. What a rewire involves.
Permits
Electrical permits and electrician licenses come from the joint South Bend/St. Joseph County Building Department on South Lafayette Boulevard.
The utility
Indiana Michigan Power serves South Bend. Service upgrades need I&M to disconnect and reconnect power at the meter, and your electrician arranges it.
Winter
Lake-effect snow and ice storms bring outages. A generator connected through a transfer switch or interlock keeps the furnace running safely. Power problems.

Questions, answered
How much does it cost to use Wired South Bend?
Nothing. Requesting an electrician is free and there is no obligation. You agree the price of the job directly with the electrician, and they bill you, not us.
Are the electricians licensed?
We only connect you with electricians who hold a current electrical contractor license from the South Bend/St. Joseph County Building Department, the office that licenses electricians and issues electrical permits for the city and county.
Who pulls the permit?
Your electrician does. Panel upgrades, new circuits and EV chargers usually need an electrical permit from the South Bend/St. Joseph County Building Department, followed by an inspection.
What if the first electrician can’t take my job?
Then we pass your request to the next licensed electrician in your area who is free, so you are not left waiting on one company.
My power is out. Should I call an electrician or the utility?
If your neighbors are out too, it is a utility outage: report it to Indiana Michigan Power. If only your home is affected, or only part of it, check your main breaker first, then request an electrician.
