What parts of Arlington do you cover?

We cover all of Arlington's ZIP codes, 22201 through 22209, including Rosslyn, Ballston, Clarendon, Courthouse, Crystal City, Pentagon City, Shirlington, Lyon Park, and Cherrydale.

What's the most common electrical issue in Arlington's older neighborhoods?

In Lyon Park, Cherrydale, and similar brick colonial neighborhoods, it's aluminum branch wiring combined with a 60- or 100-amp service that was never upgraded. In the high-rise corridors it's more often outdated panels and feeders that can't support a renovation or added appliance load without upgrades.

Who handles permits and utility coordination for electrical work in Arlington?

Arlington County handles electrical permitting, and Dominion Energy is the utility we coordinate with for service changes. We pull the permits and manage that coordination for you.

Do you do tenant fit-out electrical work in Arlington's high-rises?

Yes, it's some of our most frequent work in Arlington. We handle office and residential unit fit-outs, lighting retrofits, and panel or feeder upgrades in the Rosslyn-Ballston and Crystal City corridors, usually coordinating with building management.

Are you a licensed electrician in Arlington, VA?

Yes. Pirro Electric holds Virginia electrical contractor license 2705198087, plus licensing in Maryland and D.C. We're fully insured and pull our own permits for every job.

Do you handle aluminum wiring remediation in Arlington?

Yes. It's common in Arlington's 1950s-60s colonials and ramblers. We do a full copper replacement rather than a partial repair, and we document the work for insurance purposes.

We provide 24/7 emergency service for our existing customers. If you're already a Pirro client, call (240) 510-3131 any time. For new customers, we take genuine emergencies when we're able to.

Local Knowledge

Electrical Challenges Specific to Arlington

Every neighborhood has its own quirks. Here's what we routinely see in Arlington, VA.

Arlington's Rosslyn-Ballston and Crystal City/Pentagon City corridors are lined with 1960s-80s high-rises and office towers, where the recurring work is tenant fit-outs, feeder and panel capacity checks, and lighting retrofits every time a unit or office turns over. Single-family neighborhoods like Lyon Park, Cherrydale, and pockets near Courthouse are full of brick colonials from the 1940s-60s with aluminum branch wiring and undersized 60-100 amp services that predate central air and EV chargers. Shirlington and Clarendon's restaurant and retail spaces also generate a steady stream of tenant build-out electrical as storefronts change hands. Arlington County handles permitting here, and Dominion Energy is the utility for service upgrades and new connections.
