What to know about Electrical panel upgrades
A panel upgrade is two jobs that often travel together. One is replacing the panel itself, the enclosure and busbars that distribute power to every circuit in the house. The other is increasing the electrical service, the capacity delivered from the utility through the meter and the main breaker, which involves the utility, new service conductors and usually a new meter enclosure. A house can need the first without the second, when a panel is full, damaged or of a type nobody wants to add to, and it can need both when what the household intends to plug in exceeds what the service was sized to deliver decades ago.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Type and amount of work, from a single fixture to a full rewire
- Condition and age of the existing wiring
- Panel and service capacity
- Distance from the panel to the new circuit
- Access through finished walls and ceilings
- Permits and inspections
How to choose electricians in Jackson
- Hire a licensed electrician or electrical contractor for any wiring, panel or new circuit work.
- Ask whether the work needs a permit and inspection, and make sure the electrician arranges it.
- Get a written quote that lists fixtures, materials, patching of walls and ceilings, and permit costs.
- For panel upgrades and EV chargers, ask them to check whether your electrical service can handle the added load.
- Choose someone who explains what they found in plain language before starting.
Questions to ask electricians before you hire
- Are you licensed for electrical work in my area?
- Will you get the permit and arrange the inspection?
- Can my current panel and service handle this work?
- Will you need to open walls or ceilings, and who patches them afterwards?
- Is the price fixed, or could it change once you see the existing wiring?
- What warranty do you offer on your work?
Panel upgrade permits in Tennessee
Some panel upgrade work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Tennessee
Electrical work
The Limited Licensed Electrician covers work under a per-project value the Board sets, and is only required of electricians working in a municipality that uses the Division of Fire Prevention for permits or inspections. The Board tells applicants to check with the local government first, because many cities have their own licensing requirement for permits and inspections.

This type of work often has to be done by a licensed or certified trade. Ask to see licences and proof of insurance before work starts.
