Should I shut off the breaker before you arrive?

If something is sparking, smoking, or you smell burning plastic - yes, shut off that circuit (or the main if you're not sure which one). Then call us.

Emergency Electrician in Germantown, MD - Pirro Electric

Pirro Electric brings 23 years of Maryland electrical experience to every emergency electrician job in Germantown. Germantown grew rapidly from the late 1980s through the 2000s, so most homes have modern wiring - but original 100-amp services are now undersized for EVs, heat pumps, and home offices. We see a steady stream of 200-amp upgrades, EV charger installs, and panel replacements due to aging breakers.

On any given month you'll find our trucks handling 100a → 200a service upgrades and level 2 ev charger installs across Churchill, Cloverleaf, Seneca Crossing, and Dorsey Mill. We pull permits in Germantown, schedule inspections, and walk you through the work so nothing gets left to guess.
