Pirro Electric handles luxury home wiring for homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Arlington, VA. Work is scoped on site, quoted in writing, permitted, and inspected before we call it done. Typical scope: whole-home electrical design from architectural plans, 400a, 600a & 800a residential service entrances, and smart-home pre-wire (lutron, control4, crestron, savant).
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.
Electrical Built for the Way Luxury Homes Actually Live
A custom home in Potomac, Bethesda, McLean, Great Falls, or Kalorama isn't wired like a tract house. Square footage doubles or triples, mechanical loads stack up - induction ranges, dual ovens, steam showers, indoor pools, EV chargers, geothermal pumps, elevators - and the architecture asks the electrical to disappear. Pirro Electric has wired luxury custom homes across the DMV since 2003, and we design every system around how the home is going to be lived in for the next forty years, not just how it passes rough-in.
We work directly from architectural and interior design plans, sit in on owner-architect-builder meetings, and produce a whole-home electrical scope before a single hole gets drilled. That means panel sizing, sub-panel locations, lighting control zones, and the low-voltage backbone are all decided up front - not bolted on after drywall.
Lighting Design That Makes the Architecture
In a high-end home, lighting is architecture. We lay out trimless and micro-aperture downlights, linear cove and toe-kick, integrated millwork lighting, exterior facade washing, landscape path and tree uplighting, and tunable-white circadian systems - coordinated with the architect, lighting designer, and millworker so fixtures land exactly where the drawings call for them.
Every keypad, scene, and dimmer gets programmed and labeled. Lutron HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Crestron, Control4, and Savant systems are commissioned in-house. You hand the homeowner a finished system on day one - not a binder of unconfigured keypads.
