Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see your question listed below, feel free to email us at customerservice@qmerit.com and we’ll be sure to get back to you with and answer as soon as possible.

Level 1 Level 1 is charging at home with a 120-volt circuit (i.e., using a standard electrical outlet).

Level 2 is charging with a 240-volt circuit in the home or workplace. This requires professional installation of either a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a hardwired charging station, but Qmerit and our certified installers make it easy. Nobody is more experienced than Qmerit, and our safe, hassle-free installation services are  recommended by top automakers and charger brands.

Level 3 or Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) uses a 480-volt DC circuit, and typically provides about an 80% charge in just 30 minutes. These charging stations are generally found at commercial sites such as shopping centers or highway rest areas.

Still not sure what you need? Watch our quick 1-minute video on Level 1 and Level 2 chargers.

The time it takes can vary based on a few factors including the length of the permit approval process, delivery of your charging hardware, and your installer’s schedule. Your installer can give you a better sense of the timetable once they review your project and assess the scope of work.

If permits are required in your city or county, your Qmerit installer will secure them for your convenience. It protects both you and your installer to ensure your project is done to code and reviewed by a local inspector. Electrical upgrades increase your property value, but you will be required to show proof of permits when selling your home. Other installers may not pull permits, putting you in jeopardy in multiple ways. Without proper permitting and inspections, for example, the work performed may be sub-par, violating electrical codes and creating a fire hazard.

There are many reasons to pull a city permit, including:

  • Safety and protection – All electrical upgrades must be done properly to void electrical and fire hazard risk. Permitting provides a final inspection process to confirm your upgrade was completed safely and according to electrical code specifications. If additional services are required for code compliance, the city inspector is there to catch it and ensure it is updated right away.
  • Homeowners insurance – If you ever need to file a claim involving an electrical circuit upgrade, your insurance company will likely require evidence the work was properly permitted.
  • Warranty – Our industry-leading technology platform enables your Qmerit-certified installer to document installation details that are helpful if your charger needs service or warranty attention in the future.

All electrical contractors in the Qmerit installation network must comply with our stringent certification standards and provide proof of:

  • Current business licenses
  • Current electrical licenses
  • Liability Insurance, Workers Comp Insurance, and Auto Insurance

Rigorous background checks for Qmerit-certified installation electricians include:

  • Criminal history
  • Motor vehicle history
