Convenience, cost savings, and energy independence that public charging can't match.
Never visit a public charging station again—simply plug in when you park at night and wake up to a fully charged vehicle every morning. No more sitting in parking lots waiting 30-60 minutes for a charge. With a Level 2 home charger, you'll gain back hours each week.
Home electricity rates in Texas average $0.11-0.13 per kWh—dramatically cheaper than public fast charging stations that charge $0.30-0.60 per kWh (3-5x higher!). For a typical EV driver, charging at home saves $800-1,200 per year compared to public charging.
Level 2 home EV chargers operate on 240-volt circuits and deliver 12-60 miles of range per hour—up to 10x faster than standard 120-volt outlets. Most EVs fully charge in 4-8 hours overnight, ensuring you're ready for your daily commute.
Professional installation by licensed, Qmerit-certified electricians ensures your charging system is installed safely and correctly. We install dedicated circuits with proper breakers, GFCI protection, and code-compliant wiring rated for outdoor/garage environments.
EV charging stations are highly desirable for homebuyers. A 2023 Zillow study found homes with EV chargers sell for 2-4% more than comparable homes without charging. It also future-proofs your home for the transition to electric transportation.
Charging your EV at home with Texas electricity (which includes significant wind and solar generation) produces fewer emissions than gasoline vehicles. Over a vehicle's lifetime, an EV charged with Texas grid electricity produces 60% fewer emissions than a comparable gasoline vehicle.

Code-compliant installation from consultation to final inspection.
We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your electric vehicle, daily driving habits, and charging needs. We help you select the right EV charger based on your vehicle, desired charging speed, smart features, installation location, and budget.
Our licensed electricians conduct a comprehensive site assessment of your electrical system and proposed charger location. We inspect your main electrical panel capacity, measure distance from panel to charging location, evaluate circuit availability, and check for necessary upgrades.
EV charger installations require electrical permits in most DFW municipalities—we handle all permitting and code compliance for you. We file required permits, ensure NEC compliance, follow local requirements, and coordinate municipal inspections after installation.
Our certified electricians complete your installation with meticulous attention to safety. We install a dedicated 40-60 amp circuit, run proper wiring, mount the charging unit securely, complete all connections, and perform comprehensive testing to ensure proper operation.
Installation Timeline: Most residential EV charger installations are completed in 4-6 hours (single day service). Projects requiring electrical panel upgrades may take 1-2 days.

Common questions about installing an EV charging station at home.
Most residential EV charger installations are completed in 4-6 hours (single day service). The installation involves running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your electrical panel to the charger location, mounting the charging unit, making all electrical connections, and testing the system. Projects requiring electrical panel upgrades or extensive conduit runs (50+ feet) may take 1-2 days. We provide accurate time estimates during your consultation.
It depends on your existing electrical panel capacity and available circuit breaker slots. Most modern homes built after 2000 have 200-amp panels with sufficient capacity for an EV charger. Older homes with 100-amp panels often require upgrades, especially if you're already running multiple high-draw appliances (central AC, electric dryer, electric range). Our electricians will assess your panel during the site evaluation and provide honest recommendations. Panel upgrades typically cost $1,500-3,000 but may be necessary for safe operation.
Yes! Garages are the most common location for residential EV charger installations. We can mount the charging unit on any garage wall with access to your electrical panel. The charger should be located where you'll park your EV, typically on the wall directly in front of or beside the parking space. Make sure your garage door can still operate freely and you have enough cord length (usually 18-25 feet) to reach your vehicle's charging port. We can also install outdoor chargers on exterior walls, driveways, or carports using weatherproof equipment.
Hardwired chargers are permanently connected to your home's electrical system without a plug—wired directly into a junction box. Plug-in chargers connect via a NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 outlet (similar to dryer outlets). Hardwired installations are more permanent and slightly less expensive (no outlet required). Plug-in chargers offer portability—you can unplug and take the charger with you if you move, or swap between multiple charging locations. Both are equally safe and perform identically. We recommend hardwired for permanent installations and plug-in if you might relocate or want flexibility.
Yes, in most Dallas-Fort Worth municipalities, electrical permits are required for EV charger installations because you're adding a new dedicated 240-volt circuit to your home's electrical system. Permits ensure installations meet National Electrical Code (NEC) safety standards and local building codes. We handle all permit applications and coordinate the required electrical inspections on your behalf—you don't need to visit the permit office or deal with inspectors. Proper permitting protects you from liability, maintains equipment warranties, and ensures your installation passes scrutiny during home sales.
Yes and no. Tesla Wall Connectors come in two versions: Tesla-only (with proprietary connector) and Universal (with J1772 standard connector). If you have a non-Tesla EV (Rivian, Ford, Nissan, BMW, etc.), you'll need a Universal charger with a J1772 connector—the industry standard used by all non-Tesla EVs. We can help you select the right charging equipment for your specific vehicle. Many Tesla owners also choose universal J1772 chargers because they work with all EVs, providing future flexibility if you switch vehicle brands.
